About Master of Science - Organised Crime, Terrorism and Security

Essex draws on state-of-the-art research to address key critical issues surrounding organized criminality and terrorism in contemporary society. University of Essex involves multi-level analyses of organized crime as a concept, alongside the impacts of urbanization, migration and globalization upon both the practice of crime and the ways in which humans understand them.
