Course summary
Develop your understanding of crime and criminal practice in an international context and consider how digital technologies are creating ‘new crimes’. Globalisation and the digitalisation of society pose new challenges in the fight against crime. To respond to these challenges, our MSc International Criminology and Criminal Justice takes an international approach to the study of crime and crime control. You will explore:
- international and transnational crimes – for example, organised crime, drug trafficking, fraud and corruption, terrorism, hate crime;
- more traditional crimes – for example, domestic violence, child sexual abuse, violence, sex work and property crimes;
- crimes of the powerful – for example, environmental harms, health and safety negligence, war-related crimes, corruption, and money laundering;
- crimes that are committed in the digital world – for example hacking, the spread of malware, cyberbullying, cyberstalking, cyber frauds, and online hate speech.
