Criminology

This is an exciting new course in its second year at The Bishops’ Sixth Form. Do you want to find out why people commit crime?

Then criminology is the subject for you. You will investigate the causes of crime; the impact crime has on society and examine why people turn to crime. You will also explore the criminal justice system and how effective it is in dealing with crime in the 21st Century.

Students with a Diploma in Criminology could typically go onto study, Criminology, Criminal Justice, Sociology or Psychology at University.

This could lead to a career path in the police, criminal justice system, social working, or mental health nursing for example.
