Key focuses

This course will place a consistent focus on the study of professional investigative practice across the following themes:

  • Focusing on financial and digital investigation and intelligence in the context of the discipline of criminology, whilst drawing upon selected insights from specialist fields
  • The theoretical and conceptual challenge of what investigation should look like, and the challenges of implementation in practice
  • A shift in mindset and the use of lateral thinking to disentangle and critically assess problems to identify opportunities for effective practice using financial and digital techniques
  • Assess criminality and victimization through the medium of financial and digital techniques, and the footprint that these create for investigative purposes
  • Each of these fields provides a base of principles, knowledge and intellectual skills, subject-specific skills, and transferable skills that underpins the expectation level for the professional practitioner and the postgraduate student.
