There are few policy areas that are underpinned by more myths and misconceptions or generate more heated debate than Crime, Justice and Society.
What should the role of the police be? How do victims experience criminal justice? Are there alternative responses to crime instead of prosecution and conviction?
On this course, you’ll learn alongside specialists from the University of Sheffield’s Centre for Criminological Research and hear from those with firsthand experience of the criminal justice system, like the police, probation officers, former prisoners and criminal lawyers.
