Ideal for changemakers, this MA considers the appropriate strategies for change and support for survivors on a local and global level, equipping you with the necessary skills to pursue a rewarding career, impacting on societal change. You will also gain an understanding of how agencies collaborate to target, dismantle and disrupt serious and organised crime in the UK.
