Criminology and Criminal Justice

Program Information

School:University of Hertfordshire
Degree:Bachelor; Honours
Field of Study:Criminology
Description:This course aims to broaden your knowledge of criminology and criminal justice. You’ll gain a thorough understanding of crime, criminological theories and how to connect environmental and sociological trends of crime throughout history. You’ll get into the minds of criminals so you can conduct psychological analyses and understand how criminals are moulded by social, economic, and psychological factors. Alongside this, you will focus on the principles of restorative justice and learn all about crime prevention strategies which are needed to build a safer society and to influence positive social change today. You’ll also explore how the justice system works and uncover details of the different punishments including detention centres, prisons, probation and community sentencing - what crime warrants each punishment? Are they all needed? Is one more effective than the other? Other associated areas you will investigate include the different court structures, the limits of the magistrates’ court and how the powers of the high courts overturn a guilty verdict. To deepen your understanding of how a jury and judge prosecute, you’ll be exposed to many case studies and other jurisdictions which you’ll closely compare, bearing in mind diverse cultural perspectives. You’ll also uncover how the police and crown prosecution services work together to investigate crime, while also looking into specific areas such as police attitudes towards anti-social behaviour and how offender’s behaviour affects society.
