Summary
Critically explore what shapes crime, criminalisation, and justice in a rapidly changing world.
On the MSc Criminology, you’ll explore contemporary issues related to crime, power, victimisation, social harm, and inequality. You’ll develop the academic and applied skills to understand and challenge these issues in local and global contexts. You’ll sharpen your critical thinking as you investigate the complex interplay between crime, the criminal justice system, and the lived experiences of those individuals and communities that are most affected.
Criminology extends far beyond crime statistics and legal frameworks. At Roehampton, you’ll examine criminology through a bottom-up, decolonial, global perspective which emphasises practical solutions to issues around crime and social justice. This will engage you with students from across the world as you interrogate and debate how justice systems operate in diverse contexts and the impact of criminology on your lives.
You’ll draw on theory, research, lived experience and case studies to assess pressing criminological challenges - from violence and victimisation to social inequalities, state power, and global harms. Through critical enquiry, reflective writing and practical assessments, you’ll develop the capacity to propose evidence-based policies and interventions that address real-world issues within and beyond the criminal justice sector.
