About this subject
Designed for third-year students, this subject introduces the essential principles and practical tools used to design and conduct research in Criminology and Socio-Legal Studies.

Through hands-on learning, you will gain the skills to craft compelling research proposals, build insightful literature reviews, and critically evaluate academic work. You will also learn how to develop your own original argument and choose the most effective research methods to support it, whether qualitative (like interviews and case studies) or quantitative (like surveys and statistical analysis) or mixed-method (like surveys and focus groups). This subject is well suited for students who want to deepen their understanding of justice systems and prepare for advanced study, policy work, or careers in law, criminology, or social research.
