Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Criminology and Law (CD04)

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.

Students will study Law with Liverpool Hope University and they will gain an understanding of the fundamental principles, theories and key ideas that underpin the law in England and Wales. They also learn about the way Public Law provides the legal framework within which government and administration functions, the structure of Law and Government under which people live, and the values of democracy, rule of law and constitutionalism that underpin that structure.
