About

This double degree will give you a thorough understanding of the causes and consequences of complex crime and criminal justice issues and how they are currently dealt with by government at local, national and global levels. It will combine the study of what makes criminals tick with an understanding of the justice system and policy making processes. With an appreciation of how policy is created and applied, plus an understanding of crime and criminal behaviour, you will be equipped to influence the policy underpinning the justice system to ultimately deter crime, rather than simply respond to criminal behaviour.
