What it is	Critical Criminology examines why crimes happen and how criminal justice systems work, focusing on how power, inequality, and social structures shape both crime and punishment. Unlike traditional criminology, which mainly studies criminal behaviour itself, this program questions whether laws and enforcement are fair and who benefits from the current system. It suits students interested in understanding crime as a social problem rather than just studying offenders.	This four-year degree teaches you law and criminology through a liberal arts lens rather than training you to become a lawyer. You study legal systems, criminal justice, court processes, and social issues connected to crime and punishment, but you do not complete the professional courses required for law school or law practice. It suits people interested in how laws work and why crime happens, who want a broad university education rather than a narrow pathway to a specific legal profession.	You study crime, law, and social systems while learning practical skills in either community support or policing. The program combines a university degree in justice studies with a hands-on diploma, so you graduate qualified for immediate work in either field rather than just having theoretical knowledge. This suits people who want to work in criminal justice, victim support, or law enforcement and prefer learning by doing alongside classroom study.	You study how law, social systems, and human rights work together to address inequality and protect people's freedoms. This program blends criminology, policy, and legal thinking rather than focusing on law or criminology alone. It suits students interested in social justice work, advocacy, or understanding how institutions can create fairer outcomes.
