The MSc Criminology and Criminal Justice course aims to develop and refine your detailed knowledge and understanding of explanations of crime and the criminal justice system. In addition to providing a wide-ranging examination of the extent, effects and explanations of crime, the programme examines the criminal justice process including the police, courts and prison, and analyses methods of crime prevention and control. It also offers you the opportunity to undertake supervised research in an area of direct professional relevance. The MSc in Criminology and Criminal Justice should appeal to postgraduates who wish to expand their knowledge of criminology, and to persons with professional responsibilities in policing, probation and prisons, local government, the voluntary sector, and individuals in the private security industry.

In an era in which policing is becoming devolved to local levels, officers and civilian employees face increased responsibilities for managing staff and resources, devising and implementing policing plans, accounting for budgets, and a host of administrative duties. These tasks require skill and knowledge that have not been traditional components of police training programmes. Equally, most other management courses focus on issues relevant to the private sector and do not take into account the public service dimensions that are central to policing. The MSc Police Leadership and Management programme will bridge the gap between the principles and requirements of policing as a public service and the techniques and principles of contemporary management. The programme provides professionals working in police forces, both in the UK and abroad, the opportunity to explore in depth key issues relevant to contemporary policing.
