This interactive approach encourages you to explore different perspectives, apply theory to practice, and develop the critical thinking and communication skills essential for success in Criminology.<\/p>\n\n<p>In your first semester, you will study three core modules that introduce key areas of criminology and criminal justice. In CRU420 Media and Crime, you will explore how crime and justice are represented across a range of media platforms, from news reporting to streaming services such as Netflix, and demonstrate your understanding through a blog post assessment. CRU421 Understanding the Criminal Justice System will provide an overview of the UK criminal justice process, examining the roles of policing, the courts, and other justice agencies, with assessment through a 15-minute presentation. In CRU407 Sociology of Crime, you will be introduced to major sociological theories of crime and deviance, exploring perspectives such as Marxism and labelling theory, and will be assessed through an essay.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<details\n\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-details is-layout-block is-icon-caret\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t<summary\n\t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\tTeaching team\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"icon icon-caret\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\"><path d=\"M310.6 246.6l-127.1 128C176.4 380.9 168.2 384 160 384s-16.38-3.125-22.63-9.375l-127.1-128C.2244 237.5-2.516 223.7 2.438 211.8S19.07 192 32 192h255.1c12.94 0 24.62 7.781 29.58 19.75S319.8 237.5 310.6 246.6z\"\/><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"meet-tammia\">Meet Tammia<\/h3>\n\n<p>Tammia is the Programme Lead for Undergraduate and Postgraduate Criminology, with over a decade of experience in prison education, having taught in both further and higher education, as well as within prisons including HMP Oakwood and HMP Birmingham.
