Criminology is an intellectually exciting subject that tackles problems faced by contemporary society. It is the academic study of criminalisation, crime and disorder, criminal justice systems, and responses to crime. At the University of Roehampton, studying Criminology will encourage you to think critically about the creation of law, implementation of criminal justice policy, and the operation of the justice system.
