Criminology

About this course

Criminology is the systematic study of crime, criminal behaviour, and the social responses to both. It draws on sociology, psychology, law, history, and policy analysis to ask why crime happens, how it is distributed across society, whether the systems designed to prevent and punish it actually work, and whose interests those systems serve. These are questions that matter in any society, and studying them equips you with analytical tools that are useful both in criminal justice professions and in a wide range of other careers. At Manchester Metropolitan University, this three-year full-time BSc is aimed at students who want to engage rigorously with these questions. You will explore the causes and patterns of crime and examine its real impact, looking at both offenders and victims and how each is processed through the criminal justice system. The programme covers theories of criminality
