Course summary

Criminology can be described as the study of crime, people who commit crime, and the criminal justice system. The Postgraduate Diploma in Comparative Criminology and Criminal Justice gives students the opportunity to develop a specialist knowledge of debates around crime causation and control, within a comparative and international context. Students undertake a wide variety of modules which aim to combine theoretical concepts with real-world problems such as surveillance, policing and youth crime.
