Why study criminology and law?
Studying criminology gives you a deep understanding of offending and victimisation and the realities of societies’ responses to crime. This knowledge both complements and critically contextualises the study of the laws through which criminal justice is applied. You’ll develop an understanding of how law is applied, which will benefit you whether you wish to practise criminal law or work in the criminal justice system.
