Overview

In recent years crime has become an increasingly central focus of public concern and political debate. This course provides an opportunity to acquire a grounding in criminology, its theoretical basis and practical applications, whilst at the same time focusing on the challenges of contemporary policing practice at both national and transnational levels in the context of globalisation. The course will be taught by both traditional academics and ex-police officers and police staff and will both enhance your knowledge of the institutions and apparatus that govern the field of crime as well as giving you the opportunity to work within the Police Service.
