Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Criminal Justice

Program Overview

Why do people offend? What is the appropriate response to this type of behaviour? How can offending be managed, reduced or prevented? This degree answers these questions by critically exploring offending behaviour and criminal justice practice, policy and theory.

We’ve designed this criminal justice degree to develop your skills and understanding, preparing you for careers in the criminal justice sector. You could see these roles in a real-world context during work experience in Year 2.

Explore how children and young people are treated within the youth justice system. Unravel the mysteries of complex offending, like working with mentally disordered offenders or those with addictions who offend. Study the management of offenders and concepts such as risk and dangerousness.

You will gain criminological and psychological understanding of the causes and consequences of offending behaviour. You will have the opportunity to look at crime at a local, national and global level, from low level anti-social behaviours through to crimes against humanity.
