Criminology

Criminology 

(Level 3 - applied certificate/ diploma)

Criminology focuses on many aspects of crime, from crime scene to court room. By linking theories to real life criminal cases, you will learn about a range of criminological theories and explanations of why people commit crime. You will also explore the changing public perception of crime, campaigns for change and changes in law. Developing your knowledge of the criminal justice system and investigation process, you will also broaden and develop your understanding and opinions of justice, crime, punishment and the various agencies involved in these.

An interesting and diverse course, this could lead you to further study or careers in social sciences and social work, legal professions, law, psychology or journalism.
