Course Overview

What factors can explain the recent rise in knife crime? How is climate change linked to crimes of the powerful? Are prisons the appropriate response to criminal acts? Are we all treated equally before the law?
These are some of the debates that you will explore in this course. By looking at the complex interactions between the state, the offender, the victim, and society, you will think critically about how laws are made and how social structures shape both crime and crime control. You will engage in theoretical debates about crime and in practical problem solving and research activities.
