BSc Hons Psychosocial Analysis of Offending Behaviour

This degree integrates the disciplines of forensic psychology and applied criminology. It enables progression towards a comprehensive understanding of offending, its impact on individuals and communities and current criminal justice practice. You will study concepts such as risk and dangerousness, while also examining offending behaviour across the lifespan, from children who offend through to older adults. Analysing complex offending behaviour, such as that encountered when working with mentally disordered offenders and those who present a significant risk of serious reoffending, you will explore the wider social, economic and political context of offending and the impact this has on the extent and typology of contemporary crime. Your studies will have a national and global focus, from low level nuisance crime to terror, corporate crime and crimes against humanity.
