Course description

This course aims to introduce learners to criminology which is as an area of study that addresses the questions raised within the subject of criminology. This includes examining theoretical debates about the causes of crime and criminal behaviour and both historical and contemporary ideas about dealing with criminal activity.

The course looks at persistent crime problems such as youth crime, drugs, violence, and anti-social behaviour and how they have been dealt with. Its aim is to develop an understanding of controversies around the causes of crime and criminal behaviour, and consider how theoretical and practical ideas about crime lead to crime and criminal justice policy.

This course provides essential knowledge of the principles of criminology and the study of crime and justice. In addition the course encourages progression by helping learners to acquire the skills and knowledge needed for further study of specialist crime and justice topics at level 4.

The course does not assume that you have any recent experience of studying crime. While the aim of this course is not necessarily to challenge your existing views, it may introduce you to new ways of looking at crime and and criminal behaviour. By studying this course on criminology, you will develop a range of, words and narrative designed to cope with the study of crime and criminal behaviour at higher level. You will also gain a greater understanding of crime problems in Britain today.
