Criminology and Policing

About this course

Criminology and policing is a degree that connects the broad academic study of crime, justice, and social control with a focused examination of how policing works in practice. Criminology brings theoretical and empirical tools for understanding why crime happens, how it is distributed across society, and whether the systems designed to prevent and respond to it are effective or just. Policing studies examines one of the most visible and contested institutions in the criminal justice system, asking how police organisations operate, what values guide them, how they engage with communities, and how they are evolving in response to challenges including cybercrime, terrorism, and the demands of a diverse society. At The University of Law, this full-time, three-year programme enables you to examine the criminal justice system across its major components, including prisons, probation, policing
