Not all types of crime are alike. What different types of crime take place in our society? How do we decide what behaviour is criminal? What is the difference between criminal behaviour and deviance? How do we explain why people commit crime? What happens to those who commit a crime? Why and how do we punish people? What organisations do we have in our society to control criminality? An understanding of criminology is relevant to many job roles within the criminal justice sector, including police officers, probation and prison officers, and social workers. With their critical thinking, analytical and communication skills, criminology graduates are also attractive to employers outside the criminal justice sector in areas such as social research and politics
You should have achieved a minimum of 5 GCSEs at grades 9-4 or equivalent including Maths and at least one Science subject at grade 5. You should also have a grade 5 in English Language.
For each year there will be internally assessed course work and a 90 min exam. 3 questions. 75 marks. Short and extended questions with some problem solving scenario questions
