Criminology
Crime and how to control crime are issues that both fascinate us and make us fearful. From the actions of petty thieves to the threats of terrorist organisations, crime affects us all to a lesser or greater extent. But why are some actions defined as criminal or anti-social, while others are not? And who defines them? These resources explore a variety of questions and concerns around social order, security and surveillance and consider how governments try to tackle them. Through this study you’ll also be learning more about contemporary society, welfare policy and crime-control policy.
