Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Criminology and Politics (LL2H)

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.

The Politics program will allow students to explore key ideas, institutions and politics in an international, national and local context. They will be taught by staff who are experts in their fields, who will teach them to engage with political research and develop the capacity to be an independent, critically-minded scholar. The course also aims to equip students with transferable skills to take into the world of work.
