Criminal Justice and Criminology

About this course

Criminal justice and criminology is a pairing that sits at the intersection of social science and practical policy, asking not only why crime occurs but how societies respond to it and with what effects. Criminology provides the theoretical and empirical tools to understand offending, victimisation, and the social conditions that shape both, while criminal justice focuses on the institutions, policies, and practices through which the state investigates, prosecutes, and manages crime. Together they offer a rigorous and socially engaged education. At the University of Leeds, this three-year full-time degree draws on the world-leading research of the Centre for Criminal Justice Studies, ensuring that what you study connects directly to the current frontiers of academic knowledge and live policy debates. You will develop an advanced and critical understanding of crime and criminal justice a
