Studying BSc (Hons) Criminology will help you achieve this. The course provides you with an understanding of the causes of crime and victimisation. You will also make sense of behaviour by studying the criminal justice system and punishment. You will begin to understand how characteristics such as race, gender, age and social class relate to individuals' experiences of crime, victimisation and justice. This course provides an excellent foundation for a career in a number of criminal justice agencies, including the police, probation or prison services.
