Why is knife crime on the rise? What causes criminal behaviour? How can we tackle terrorism? Our degrees will give you a comprehensive insight into criminality. You’ll learn about its causes and impacts on an individual, societal and political level, and you’ll gain a great grounding in the sort of issues criminal justice professionals explore on a daily basis.
