"modules": "You will study the concepts, theories, structures, organisations, processes and practices involved with the prevention, investigation and prosecution of crime, the workings of the criminal law and criminal court system and the treatment of offenders. \n\nIn Year 1 you will be introduced to the historical, legal and philosophical context of criminal justice. You will also begin to develop an understanding of the criminal justice and wider social science approaches to research and inquiry that underpin good quality research linked with the discipline. \n\nIn Year 2 you will deepen your understanding of the theoretical debates within criminal justice through in-depth analysis of criminology, and begin to learn about criminal investigation through an introduction to policing. You will learn in more detail about the research process and begin thinking about how research should be conducted in an ethical and valid way. \n\nIn Year 3 you will develop an applied and critical approach to criminal justice issues through modules that examine prisons, youth justice, and the ability for students to choose topics from a range of contemporary issues to focus on. You have the opportunity to apply to focus your studies in the area of Policing through the policing specialism. Note that this is a competitive stream and places are restricted. If you apply and are successful though, this will result in you studying BA (Hons) Criminal Justice (Policing). \n\nIn Year 4 (Honours) you will carry out a research dissertation on a criminal justice topic (or policing topic for students on the bracketed award), as well as deepening your knowledge of contemporary issues and debates through specialist optional modules including Victimology, Security in a Global Age and Crime as Social Harm. You also have the choice to learn more about justice processes around the world through comparative justice, or to gain credit for voluntary work or paid employment they are engaged in through the Working in Criminal Justice module.",
