Contemporary Criminological Perspectives 5203CRIM

Students are required to write a 4,500 review essay, working to the following two-part brief:

Firstly, essays must provide a brief introductory review of THREE of the progressive criminological perspectives studied on the module (listed below); and then secondly, essays must outline the ways in which ONE of these chosen perspectives can be applied to a contemporary event/phenomenon to help better understand it.

Perspectives Include:

Psychosocial criminology

Southern criminology
