Drawing on the leading research of the Centre for Criminal Justice Studies, this course will give you an understanding of crime and its control.
You’ll explore the complex questions around why people start offending, how they should be dealt with and how crime can be prevented, alongside the individual, social, legal and political forces that shape crime and how it is controlled. In addition, you’ll study the workings of criminal justice agencies like the police, courts, prisons and probation as well as the private companies and voluntary groups who have increasing roles in offender management and crime prevention. |
