BSc (Hons) Criminology with Law in Sheffield United Kingdom | Teesside University

Criminology examines criminal behavior in society, exploring key questions: What defines a crime? Why do individuals commit offenses? How should society handle offenders? Why do we emphasize crimes by the less powerful when offenses by the influential may cause greater harm? What functions do law enforcement and the justice system serve? How does media coverage influence public perceptions of crime? How do factors like race, gender, age, sexuality, and socioeconomic status affect both criminal behavior and victimization? In our interconnected world, how do global influences impact local crime patterns?
