When you choose to study Social Policy and Crime, you will immerse yourself in fundamental social policy concerns and investigate specific social policies of governments and other agencies, assessing how such policies impact on people's day-to-day lives.
This course enables you to focus your study upon the fast-growing policy area of crime and gives you the opportunity to understand and critically appraise public policy in this area.
You will examine the social processes by which particular acts of behaviour, or particular social groups, become defined as deviant or criminal, and investigate the ways society seeks to control deviance and criminality.
