Criminology is the systematic study of crime and its control. Criminologists ask what causes crime and how we might best respond to it, and why certain behaviours are criminalised while others are not. This degree brings together expertise in the Sutherland School of Law and the School of Psychology to offer an inspiring interdisciplinary learning experience.
