About Master of Arts - Criminology

This course offers a critical study of the connections between criminological theory, criminal justice policy and social control. Students will examine the social, economic and political contexts that give rise to crime and victimisation.

Students will explore and challenge formal responses to offending behaviour, including policing, punishment and rehabilitation, and wider strategies of social control. They will study the criminalisation process and engage critically with 'what works' to reduce crime. Students will develop their qualitative and quantitative research skills and conduct their own criminological research inquiry into a specialist area.

Kingston is well-placed for visits to crown courts, the central criminal court and the many non-government organisations (NGOs) and charities connected to crime prevention and justice. The course offers opportunities to access first-hand experiences of imprisonment, the transition from prison and the desistance process. In addition to teaching the substantive elements of criminological theory, research and practice, the course examines an array of social harms and perspectives, which have traditionally been neglected by criminologists and the legal system.

This course can lead to careers within various areas, working for both public and private organisations. This may include policy making; offender management; crime reduction and multi-agency partnership work; security and policing; criminological research; local and national government; and work for related advocacy and policy-based organisations. Recent graduates have gone on to work for Metropolitan Police Service, Avon & Somerset Police, HM Prison Service, Suzy Lamplugh Trust/National Stalking Helpline, Prison Advice Care Trust, Security Services, Private Security, Victim Support.
