Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Criminal Investigation
Program Overview
Studying Criminal Investigation gives you an exciting opportunity to critically analyse aspects of police investigations from different perspectives and understand the way crimes receive different levels of response.
Criminal investigation is a central part of police activity, and media coverage can influence the public perception of the police, their accountability, and legitimacy. This course is an excellent choice if you want to gain a solid grounding in police criminal investigations whilst also developing broad knowledge and skills that will prepare you for a wide range of careers in criminal justice and beyond.
The increase in crime and the way crime is committed today provides very different challenges to those facing detectives of the past. On this course you will seek to understand the current context within which detectives work and adopt a critical approach to criminal investigations, exploring investigative history, police effectiveness in volume, serious and complex, and major crime investigations, historic and current sexual and domestic abuse investigations.
As part of the course, you will consider police investigative interviewing of witnesses, suspects, victims, and intelligence sources, and have opportunity to interview a suspect in our policing simulation suite. You will also investigate a potential real miscarriage of justice within the level 6 miscarriages of justice module. This is real experience of investigation where you will present findings to the charity Inside Justice, a partner of CCCU.
We know employers are looking for dynamic, open-minded graduates who can adapt, innovate, and collaborate. So we have designed a new way of teaching and learning to ensure that you are work-ready for when you graduate.
