This degree programme is an opportunity to study both Criminology and Social Policy within an interdisciplinary social sciences context.

This programme combines Criminology, focusing on criminalisation, victimisation and social responses to crime and disorder, with Social Policy, studying how societies respond to human need and seek to promote the wellbeing of their members.

Teaching draws on a range of social science perspectives and offers you the chance to explore sociological and political attitudes to crime and its control, along with debates on the goals of social policy: how do we decide what human needs are and whose responsibility is it to meet human needs.
