Study this criminal justice degree to develop an understanding of the criminal justice system and the treatment and management of offenders. Explore the factors that contribute to offending and examine our responses to this type of behaviour. Gain practical skills to understand, treat and manage people in the criminal justice system in this multi-disciplinary degree.
Why do people offend? What is the appropriate response to this type of behaviour? How can offending be managed, reduced or prevented? This degree answers these questions by critically exploring offending behaviour and criminal justice practice, policy and theory.
We’ve designed this criminal justice degree to develop your skills and understanding, preparing you for careers in the criminal justice sector. You could see these roles in a real-world context during work experience in Year 2.
Explore how children and young people are treated within the youth justice system. Unravel the mysteries of complex offending, like working with mentally disordered offenders or those with addictions who offend. Study the management of offenders and concepts such as risk and dangerousness.
You will gain criminological and psychological understanding of the causes and consequences of offending behaviour. You will have the opportunity to look at crime at a local, national and global level, from low level anti-social behaviours through to crimes against humanity.
You will be introduced to the criminal justice process and the wellbeing needs of offenders, with special focus on the care, treatment and management of mentally disordered offenders and offenders with addictions. You’ll be introduced to the place of criminology in the modern world and will develop critical thinking and analysis skills that will be essential in your career.
Addictions and Offending explores the key policy, practice and societal drivers which currently direct responses to addictions and offending. The Government strategy, 'Reducing Demand, Restricting Supply, Building Recovery' (Ministry of Justice, 2010), recognises the impact that addictions such as drug and alcohol dependence have on societal harm and crime. The strategy sets out to tackle dependence on all drugs including prescription and over the counter medicines, as well as severe alcohol dependence. The relationship between addiction, punishment, rehabilitation, the individual and the State will be a key focus of the module. Drawing on the patterns and themes inherent in criminological, psychological and sociological representations of crime, punishment, rehabilitation and addiction, you will discover how alternatives to custody, which promote punishment and pay back, as well as treatment and rehabilitation, are key strands of contemporary policy. Employment and health are also key, however the challenges are immense, particularly when considered against a backdrop of financial austerity in public services.

Mental Health and Offending
Mental Health and Offending equips you with an understanding of the key issues relating to the mentally disordered offender. There has been a general increase in the number of restricted patients detained over the last ten years. Many mentally disordered offenders will be detained in secure hospital provision in the NHS and Independent sector. However, some mentally disordered offenders require treatment under conditions of high security due to their dangerous, violent or criminal propensities. This module specifically focuses on those individuals detained under the Mental Health Act (1983). The complex medical, legal, and political aspects of the mentally disordered offender will be explored, alongside scrutiny of care and treatment practices.
Histories of Crime, Policing and Punishment will immerse you in the historical understandings of crime and the historical developments in crime, policing and punishment. The module is based on UK experiences, although international comparisons will be made where relevant. Sound criminological analyses require an awareness of historical contexts to a range of current issues. This module provides you with the opportunity to develop your knowledge of key historical themes and moments in the developing conceptualisations of crime, deviance and disorder, and social responses to them. You will be encouraged to identify and discuss continuities and changes in these developments. The module will also examine the significance of changing relations of class, gender, ‘family origins’ and age in underpinning responses to crime, deviance and disorder.

Module code: CRI2031
Credits: 20
Women, Girls and Offending
Women, Girls and Offending provides you with a comprehensive representation of the wide-ranging complexities relating to offences committed by girls and women. Female offenders currently comprise around one tenth of the offender population under supervision in the community and approximately 5% of the prison population. Women are also frequently sentenced for short periods of time, for relatively minor offences. An increase in convictions for girls and young women can be observed in recent years. Girls committing violent offences are also more likely to have psychological and emotional problems, alongside a history of contact with mental health services, than those committing non-violent offences. This module will enable you to focus on the motivations relating to female offending and the societal and criminal justice responses. Psychosocial, criminological, class and feminist perspectives will all be considered.

Credits: 20
Violence and Society
Violence and Society explores the concept of violence and the various forms it can take, ranging from intrapersonal violence (for example, self-harm) to interpersonal violence, institutional and state violence, and violence on a global scale. You will be encouraged to look beyond established understandings of what constitutes a violent act to explore more abstract forms of violence such as harm, denial of rights, and poverty. Criminological theory will form the basis of considerations of aspects of violence. The structural relations of class (production), ‘family origins’ (neo-colonialism) and gender/sexuality (reproduction) will be highlighted as the determining contexts in which such violence occurs and is legitimated.

Expanding the Criminological Imagination
Expanding the Criminological Imagination critically reflects upon and analyses the discipline of criminology. You will examine criminology’s political, practical and theoretical strengths and limitations and explore the production and commodification of criminological knowledge. The module will consider whether criminology has become a ‘parasitic’ discipline with the criminalisation of social problems, and the ever increasing techniques of crime control, forming the justification for the discipline’s existence, rather than providing a platform for resistance. You will explore the concept of the ‘criminological imagination’ as an alternative way of envisaging the discipline and its utility. You will also examine the way in which criminology has to connect with other disciplines in order to expand the range of issues it deals with. This is a necessity in order to help criminologists make sense of issues where the ‘normal’ boundaries of criminology would stifle or limit an analysis.
Module code: CRI3113
Credits: 20
