Criminology with Youth Justice including Foundation Year - BSc (Hons)

About

Our Youth Justice degree is multidisciplinary, involving the study of social policy, sociological, psychological and criminological perspectives. You'll explore why young people offend, and the impact their families and communities have upon their personal development and criminal behaviour. Throughout the course you'll consider comparative practices of managing offending behaviours, and initiatives for reducing offending. Students on this course will complete a subject-specific research project and have the opportunity to complete a subject-specific placement.
