The programme engages students in exploring theoretical perspectives on crime and criminal justice. Specialist and optional modules are available that focus on contemporary forms of crime and approaches to justice; risk and dangerousness; youth justice; researching crime;  leadership and professional Issues. The programme includes an option to negotiate a specific set of learning outcomes related to the students own area of interest which in the past has led students to focus on such diverse areas as probation practice,  anti-terrorism laws and responses to domestic violence. Finally, the full MA award is conferred on completion of a research project which can be related to any area of criminal justice.
