Criminology and Musical Theatre BA

CRIMINOLOGY

Crime and society's response are key issues today. Criminology looks at why crime happens, its effects, and how we can prevent it. At Liverpool Hope University, you'll explore how crime is defined. You'll learn who makes these decisions and why people commit crimes. You'll also study what happens in the criminal justice system.

You’ll also learn about important institutions like the police, courts, prisons, probation services, and government bodies such as the Ministry of Justice and the Home Office. The degree prompts you to think about big questions. Is criminal behavior learned or inherited? Why are some actions criminalized and others not? Does punishment really reduce crime?

Criminology at Liverpool Hope is a respected course taught by experienced staff. They are dedicated to helping you excel in a vibrant learning environment. The course focuses on justice—its delivery, access, and fairness—reflecting the university’s commitment to social justice locally and globally.
