Criminology is the critical study of the crime and the criminal justice system. Have you ever wondered why people commit crime? How crime is defined? Or whether we, as a society, should take a different approach to crime? If so, this module is for you. Through a series of themed workshops focusing on topics such as politics, media, biology, psychology, age, class, race and gender, this module will provide an introduction to some key critical theories and perspectives on criminality.
