The programme aims to develop students' understanding of the role, function and international policy-making impact of a diverse range of international and regional criminal justice bodies and develop students' awareness of universal human rights standards and ethics. Students will also have opportunities to critically examine the development of international and transnational offending via appropriate criminological, legal and political perspectives, study the application of human resource management within criminal justice agencies, and to study a range of international criminal justice and international police science subjects. Students will design, research and write a substantial piece of academic written work.
All students with an interest in crime, criminality and criminal justice in an international context will find this course of interest. If you work in national or local police, other criminal justice agencies with international duties, or as liaison officers or analysts at international police and judicial agencies then this course is ideal for you. Likewise, if you work for a pressure group, examining national criminal justice and human rights with reference to international norms of human rights and police ethics, then this course will provide you with a framework to explore your interests.
