Course description
Criminology Advanced Diploma Level 4
The aim of this course is to introduce learners to criminology as an area of study that tries to address the questions raised and to explore many key debates within criminology.
This includes examining theoretical debates about the causes of crime and criminal behaviour and both historical and contemporary ideas about dealing with crime. The course looks at persistent crime problems – such as youth crime, drugs, violence, and anti-social behaviour – and how they have been dealt with. Its aim is to develop an understanding of controversies around the causes of crime and criminal behaviour and consider how theoretical and practical ideas about crime lead to crime and criminal justice policy.
