Summary
The Masters in Community and Criminal Justice Leadership programme aims to equip you with the skills, knowledge and understanding of current issues and debates necessary to become effective leaders across the Criminal Justice System. This will include knowledge and understanding of the Criminal Justice System as well as understanding theories that inform current practice.
We have designed the programme to support the university's commitment to the public good and UN SDG 16 by equipping our graduates to become leaders in prison, probation, police, youth custody, and third sector roles. We aim to empower our graduates to foster fairness and safety in society, and lead organisations where discrimination, abuse of power, and harmful practices are eliminated.
You will develop skills in conducting comprehensive background investigations, analysis, research, and inquiries using established methods. These skills will be applied to support the personal development and practices of the teams you will lead, such as fostering reflective and anti-discriminatory practices.
You will graduate from the programme with the skills, knowledge and experience required to fulfil your career aspirations, and secure employment as a senior leader across the criminal justice system and beyond. The course aims to meet the professional development needs of staff working across the Justice sector who either aspire to be in or are currently in leadership and management roles within HMPPS; primarily Prison, Probation, Youth Custody and Policing.
