BA in Criminology The BA (Hons) in Criminology provides a unique vantage point to study issues related to crime, justice and people’s experiences of victimisation in a society transitioning from conflict. Criminologists are interested in how activities come to be defined as ‘criminal’, why definitions and responses to crime vary over time and place, as well as how people are affected by harmful behaviours.

With crime frequently in the news and always an important issue, criminology has never been more relevant. The Criminology BA Honours aims to enthuse, inspire and equip you with the skills for a successful career in today's competitive job market. Criminology draws on a wide range of human and social science disciplines, and the course has been designed to develop your knowledge and understanding of criminology as an interdisciplinary subject area. It will also equip you with the transferable and cognitive skills necessary for lifelong personal and professional development. Westminster's criminologists are concerned with who commits crimes and how offenders should be punished, but at the heart of criminology are fundamental questions about how 'crime' is defined, how criminal law is made, and how definitions of crime and justice vary historically and cross-culturally. Where better to study this fascinating discipline than in the heart of the UK's policing and criminal justice systems? Contemporary concerns are reflected as the subject engages with globalisation and culture across theoretical, qualitative and empirical domains. Our graduates go on to develop careers in a wide range of sectors, including the police and policing-support organisations, the National Probation Service, local government and crime prevention.

Why do people commit crimes? What causes crime rates to rise or fall? How do societies work, develop and transform? Our joint honours programme in BA (Hons) Criminology and Sociology provides a comprehensive and academically informed approach to these pressing questions.
