What you study	Law & Criminology	Law & Criminology	Law & Criminology
What it is	Criminology is the study of crime, criminal behaviour, and the justice system that responds to it. You'll examine why people commit crimes, how laws are enforced, and the social and psychological factors behind criminal activity. This program suits people interested in understanding crime from an academic angle rather than pursuing law or direct policing careers.	You study law and criminology together over four years, combining legal theory with the study of crime and the criminal justice system. This paired degree gives you breadth across both fields rather than specializing in law alone. It suits students curious about how law and crime intersect, who want options beyond traditional legal practice.	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.
