About this course LJMU's Criminal Psychology and Criminal Justice master's is a new stand-alone qualification designed to enhance your career prospects in criminal justice agencies, the probation service, the police and third sector agencies.
The MSc in Criminal Psychology and Criminal Justice programme offers the opportunity for graduates, practitioners, and criminal justice professionals to critically engage with a broad range of issues that impact on the effectiveness and integrity of the workings of the criminal justice system.
Through exploring a series of theoretical and policy-orientated debates relevant to the delivery of contemporary crime control and management, and assessing their cultural, social and symbolic consequences, the course helps you to develop a comprehensive and critically aware understanding of the manufacture and delivery of criminal justice policy.
In addition, you will obtain an in-depth understanding of the psychology of a range of criminal behaviours, and how this knowledge can impact on law enforcement, management and treatment of individuals with lived experience of the criminal justice system, as well as wider decision making within the justice system.
This programme is designed or those with an interest in working criminal justice or have studied in the area and want to develop their knowledge at a higher level, and as such this is not an accredited psychology programme.
