Criminology

About this course

Criminology is the academic study of crime: its causes, its patterns, its distribution across society, and the ways in which institutions respond to it through policing, prosecution, sentencing, and rehabilitation. It is a discipline that draws on sociology, psychology, law, and philosophy, and it raises fundamental questions about justice, punishment, inequality, and the relationship between the individual and the state. At Roehampton University, this programme combines serious intellectual engagement with those questions with practical preparation for careers in criminal justice and related fields. You will explore theories of crime and deviance, examining why crime is concentrated in particular social groups and places and how labelling, social exclusion, and structural inequality shape both offending and the response to it. You will engage with the politics of criminal justice polic
