Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Criminology (with Placement Year)

Program Overview

Criminologists use theory to explore some of the most contentious issues in contemporary society, working to understand the causes of crime and the way in which criminal justice agencies respond to offenders.

Criminological theory forms a key part of this course, enabling students to develop the critical tools needed to understand and explain relevant issues concerning crime, criminality, harm, criminalisation, and criminal justice in contemporary society.

Teaching is research-informed and draws upon many aspects of the social sciences. Staff specialisms include research in the areas of war crimes, the penal system, philosophy of punishment, the social exclusion of older people, policy-making and implementation, and domestic violence.

How You Study

The first year aims to provide a thorough grounding in criminology and the wider social sciences in order to develop the knowledge and research skills
necessary for further study. As the course progresses, students are able to delve deeper into topics such as criminological theory to explore the potential causes of crime and the way these shape, and are shaped by, criminal justice responses.

Final-year students can explore complex questions about the image and reality of human rights, and the problems and possibilities of different
approaches to punishment. Optional modules in the second and third years enable students to tailor their studies to their career aspirations or areas of
particular interest, such as policing.

Modules can include Images of Crime and Criminal Justice; Applying Research; Social Issues and Social Justice; Criminology in the Professions; Human Rights; and Penology and Penal Policy.

Criminology at Lincoln is organised and taught by a team of Criminologists who have extensive qualifications and experience. Students are given the opportunity to meet with tutors for individual tutorial sessions to explore in greater detail their own individual learning needs. As well as directed study, you are expected to undertake independent learning utilising traditional library resources, as well as a wide range of electronic resources.
