Criminology and Sociology are a logical and valuable combination of disciplines. Crime happens in social contexts and Sociology helps us understand those contexts.
Demand for Criminologists with insight into the impact of crime on society is higher than ever and this course can train you to meet that demand. Drawing from real-world examples, you will explore the effects of crime on society and how society responds to crime. You will consider your own attitudes to crime, criminals, and victims by exploring the relationship between the individual and society, the concept of deviance, and how offenders are punished.
When you choose one of our Criminology degrees, you will get the chance to apply for a semester-long placement with Humberside Police**. You will work with areas like CSI, the Special Branch Ports Unit, Community Policing, Cybercrime and the custody suite. You will also visit crime scenes, observe interviews, and collect evidence. Recent students have had the opportunity to investigate policing and security issues.
Our close relationships with local & national police and other criminal justice agencies has strengthened our degrees to be topical, practical, and fit for purpose, creating placements to explore criminology in real-life contexts and volunteering opportunities like the Appropriate Adult scheme.
You will apply what you learn into practice in our purpose-built replica crime scene facility right here on campus. A recent addition to the university, it provides detailed and realistic crime scenes for you to explore. Get hands-on to collect evidence, explore criminal activity, and see the world of forensic science brought to life.
Our lecturers specialise in current issues in Criminology and Criminal Justice and draw from their expertise to inform their teaching. These include AI & predictive policing, modern-day slavery, knife crime, domestic violence, mental health & crime, organised crime, cyber-terrorism and security issues. Lecturers bring their specialist knowledge and enthusiasm into the lecture theatre to help you define and develop your own areas of interest.
And our annual Careers in Criminal Justice event will enable our students to network with employers from the sector.
