BSc (Hons) Criminology and Criminal Justice and Youth Justice in Pontypridd United Kingdom | University of South Wales

This Criminology program offers a comprehensive exploration of two pressing societal concerns: criminal activity and juvenile justice. The youth justice framework in England and Wales handles sentencing and rehabilitation for individuals under 18 who have broken the law. This system also engages with at-risk youth before they become involved in formal legal proceedings, with its primary focus being the reduction of juvenile delinquency. Alongside examining criminal conduct across all age groups, you'll investigate key aspects of youth crime and the juvenile justice system, including societal reactions to young offenders.

Alumni have established rewarding careers across various justice sectors, securing positions with Youth Justice Services, Probation Services, Victim Support organizations, Police Departments, Correctional Facilities, and related fields like domestic violence shelters, substance abuse programs, housing services, and alternative education centers. Numerous graduates also pursue advanced studies through criminology doctoral programs or research-focused degrees.
