Criminology is the study of crime within society, but, what is crime, why do people offend and what should we do with criminals Why do we focus on crimes of the powerless, are crimes of the powerful more harmful What is the role of the police and the criminal justice system How does the news and media shape our understanding and experience of crime How do race, gender, age, sexual orientation and class shape experiences of crime and victimisation How does our more globalised world shape localised experiences of crime. If you have an enquiring mind, are interested in a youth-orientated perspective in response to these questions and being part of the solution, then criminology with youth is for you. You graduate with specialist knowledge of criminology in a youth context, and can enjoy careers in criminal justice, the police and probation services, and community development roles. You consider youth transitions, youth culture and youth politics, and explore the relationship between education, training and work, how this influences a young person's transition to adulthood, and their behaviours. You also explore youth justice policy and issues around young people and the criminal justice system. And to think through issues affecting young people at the local and global level.
