Course information

If you have a curious, analytical mind and are interested in crime and its effects on individuals, offenders and society at large, this course aims to engage you in challenging, often emotive debate around issues such as ethnicity, racism and sexism.

Underpinned by core sociological and criminological theories and research methods, our degree focuses on the impact of crime and criminal justice in a broad social and global context – its effect on individuals, families, communities and workplaces. We will draw on case studies from around the world, rather than exclusively from Britain, the USA and other ‘Western’ nations. Previously, we have compared issues such as refugees and patterns of immigration and integration in Gothenburg.
