Sociology & Criminology

About this course

Sociology and criminology is a pairing that examines crime and social life as intertwined phenomena. Sociology provides the theoretical frameworks and empirical tools for understanding how societies are structured, how inequality is produced and reproduced, and how social norms and institutions shape human behaviour. Criminology applies those insights to the specific domain of crime and justice, asking why crime is distributed the way it is, how it is defined and policed, and what the criminal justice system reveals about the values and power relations of the societies that operate it. Studying both together means you can engage with crime not as an isolated phenomenon but as a product of deeper social forces. At the University of Manchester, one of the UK's great research universities, this three-year full-time programme gives you access to both disciplines at a high academic level. Ma
