Throughout the course you’ll consider comparative international practices of managing offending behaviours and initiatives for reducing offending. You will complete a range of core modules which explore concepts and theories of working with young people who offend or who are at risk of offending. In the third year there is an opportunity for you to pursue further learning in a specialist area of your choice in the dissertation module.
