Laws are rules that regulate a society, but also rules that are the product of that society. All law, including that relating to the identification and punishment of crime, is shaped by contemporary and historic social, political, and economic factors. In this programme, you will engage with the key principles and doctrines underlying English, European and International law, paying particular attention to crime and criminal justice alongside a firm grounding in criminological theory and methodology. These two disciplines combine to provide you with both a theoretical and practical understanding of contemporary issues in law and criminal justice, that will equip you for a wide range of careers.
Your first year will provide you with a strong grounding in the structure of the English legal system through the study of public law, the law of contracts, tort law and property law, together with the skills required for studying law, including researching legislation and case-law, reading judgments, and legal writing. You will also be introduced to criminology as a discipline, the skills needed to study criminology successfully at university level, as well as major processes, policies, and practices of criminal justice. |
