Prepare for a career in welfare, government, public health or criminal justice agencies with this degree which examines the historical and contemporary development of social policy and criminology.
BA (Honours) Social Policy and Criminology
What is the relationship between crime, social inequality and social exclusion? If anti-social behaviour is associated with family and community breakdown, mental health problems and substance abuse, how can we deal with these issues more effectively? The BA (Honours) Social Policy and Criminology takes the study of key questions in contemporary criminology and social policy to an advanced level – examining controversies about crime and disorder in the context of the current recession and cutbacks in social care, education and youth justice budgets. You’ll also consider local and global concerns by exploring and comparing developments in different communities and countries. This degree course will equip you with the essential concepts and theories that underpin contemporary social policy and criminology, together with the skills required to evaluate and implement policy initiatives. You’ll have your own specialist, subject-based academic support as well as opportunities to join in online communities of other social sciences students for teaching, learning and peer support.
