Description
Subject Area: Criminology
CRIM2014 charts the historical development of policing as a set of social and legal practices and challenges you to consider the factors which continue to shape this development. The course will provide you with a critical understanding of the key practices, processes and institutional structures which shape policing in liberal democracies. It will also challenge preconceptions about policing being merely a response to crime, and get you to think critically about how and why policing is a fundamental aspect of the criminal justice process.
