Course summary
The BA (Hons) Crime, Justice, and Society course explores the relationship between crime, criminal behaviour, and the societal systems established to address and prevent crime. This exciting and contemporary qualification aims to provide you with the specialist knowledge around the current thinking about the various causes of crime and how society can manage it. You will be equipped with the skills needed for understanding and applying theories, concepts and ideas to what you see going on around you and in the wider world. The course explores the links between politics, poverty, inequality, mental illness, anti-social behaviour and criminal justice, and the shaping of public opinion in these areas. Whist this is a full-time course, typically this course generally only requires 1-2 days on campus attendance, supported by self-directed study. This means you can continue to work alongside your studies and balance other commitments. This degree is designed to support the practice of those working or wishing to work in the criminal justice system or an allied welfare role, such as: prison officer; probation service officer; youth offending/youth justice officer; youth worker; housing officer; support worker; witness support; drug and alcohol worker; education welfare officer; community development worker; and all those who come into contact with people affected by involvement with crime and all forms of social disorder. This programme is not open to students requiring a Student visa to study in the UK.
