About this subject
In a rapidly changing world shaped by social change and, increasingly, crisis, criminological analysis is of increased importance, providing a critical, applied and ethical response to an ever wider and complex set of social, economic and political challenges. Utilising a wealth knowledge, theories and approaches, this unit undertakes a problem-based approach whereby students apply their skills to tackle an open-ended problem that mirrors real-world challenges. In thinking about how criminological research has explored and interrogated recent ruptures and their impact on the world at large and on disadvantaged and marginalised constituencies, this unit intentionally and purposefully looks outward rather than inward, towards the new frontiers of criminological concern. Focusing on contemporary social change, potential topics include concerns connected to security, the environment, migration and refugees, the economy, disasters, prison industrialisation as well as rapidly increasing inequality and injustice for marginalised communities. Such problems rarely exist in isolation, rather multiple and overlapping impacts that frame ethical questions of justice, inclusion and recognition. In completing this unit, students will be able to demonstrate their wealth of knowledge, applying their skills beyond the classroom, preparing them for the workplace.
