Sociology and Criminology and Criminal Justice | Bachelor's degree | Humanities & Culture | On Campus | 3 years | Bangor University | United Kingdom

You can study Sociology as a joint honours degree with Criminology and Criminal Justice (50% Sociology and 50% Criminology and Criminal Justice). Sociology, and this course, investigates social life and the way it shapes people's behaviour, beliefs and identity. Its subject matter ranges from an examination of the face-to-face interactions of daily life, to large-scale social institutions, social movements and global processes. By understanding the social world, we gain a better understanding of ourselves and our own social situations. Sociology may also be studied through the medium of Welsh. Criminology and Criminal Justice course provides you with the opportunity to study two main subject areas; Criminology and Criminal Justice. Criminology examines theories and evidence relating to crime, criminals and victims, while Criminal Justice studies explore the various responses to crime and victims, from informal to formal legislative measures of social control and crime prevention; and examine the way in which the criminal justice system works - from policing through to imprisonment.
