Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Criminology and Theology (CD10)

Criminology is the study of crime, its causes and effects, and what people do about it. At Liverpool Hope University, students will study how crime is defined and who defines it, why some people commit offences, and what happens to those who commit crimes if they are caught.

Criminology also studies the impact of the various agencies and organizations that deal with crime: the police, the courts, the probation and prison services, as well as the role of the Ministry of Justice and the Home Office.

Criminology is a well-established degree at Liverpool Hope University and is taught by staff with considerable experience at national and international level. Several key criminological textbooks are written by members of the School. The Criminology team is enthusiastic and dedicated and will help students to get the most out of their degree.

Across 2,000 years, the Christian tradition has provoked an immense wealth of theological ideas, has adapted itself to many cultural forms and has shaped human minds and events. This degree offers students the opportunity to study Christianity from a number of perspectives – historical, doctrinal, pastoral and contextual – so that they will acquire expertise in finding their way through this complex and rich field of study.

The degree includes the academic study of the Christian Bible and embodies people commitment to take faith seriously, whilst at the same time to be intellectually stretching, stimulating and challenging. The teaching staff in the Department represent a broad range of Christian traditions, and are all published experts in their particular fields. Liverpool Hope University have an extensive library collection in theology and religion, amounting to well over 100,000 volumes in total, and are investing significantly in enhancing this even further, particularly with electronic resources.
