SubjectsCriminology

The Level 3 Applied Diploma in Criminology is a vocational qualification that has elements of Psychology, Law, and Sociology. This course offers students an ambitious and inclusive curriculum that aims to develop a comprehensive knowledge of the criminal justice system, its roles, and administrative processes. Students will explore the causes and consequences of criminal behaviour, societal unrest, public order enforcement and control, criminal justice system protocols, and the correlation between actions and penalties. The curriculum also investigates the influence of media on public opinion and campaigns to build awareness of unreported crimes and to advocate for law reform.

This course enhances critical thinking, analytical, and communication skills. It empowers students to evaluate the effects of crime on individuals and communities, design advocacy campaigns for change, and present debate arguments connecting crime causation theories to the debate on whether criminals are born or made.
