Industry Sector Spotlight – Criminology
Industry Sector Spotlight – Criminology
Criminology is the study of crime, criminal behavior, and the criminal justice system.
The content of courses varies, but you will learn about how crime is defined, why some people commit crime, the impact of criminal actions, forms of offending behavior and the role of the criminal justice system.
Criminology has grown in popularity in recent years and is available as a single subject BA or BSc degree at many universities. It can also be combined with subjects such as Sociology, Psychology, and Law.
Studying criminology can be seen as multi-disciplinary, as it contains elements of Psychology, Biology, Statistics, Law, and Sociology. Criminology deals with both theoretical and practical work, seeking to understand and tackle crime and criminals, as well as the legal and criminal justice system, and its wider social ramifications.
