This programme introduces key concepts in criminology, forensic psychology, criminal profiling, and crime scene investigation.

The course explores the causes and motivations behind criminal behaviour and examines how criminologists and criminal justice professionals analyse crime patterns, investigate offences, and contribute to crime prevention.
