You learn research methods used in forensic criminology and the resulting ethical problems. You also study modules that focus on the institutional framework of criminal litigation.

Our lecturers draw on their professional experience in criminal justice practice to develop your understanding of how academic theories relate to crime. Throughout the course you gain critical analysis skills, which you use to complete a dissertation in an area of your interest.

Our criminology department has an active criminological society run by students, which organises visits to appropriate organisations and guest speakers who give an overview of their speciality.

Speakers from both legal and criminal justice agencies visit to discuss cases they have been involved in or legislation and case law that impacts on the field of litigation.

Facilities include the Hallam Centre for Community Justice and the Community Justice Portal.
