This MSc aims to produce postgraduates able to take on policy challenges in the field of crime, safety and justice. Our problem-orientated learning approach emphasises how to apply subject-specific knowledge to the analysis of, and response to, instances of crime, safety and justice in the public, voluntary and commercial sectors. The overall aim of this course is to produce graduates capable of ‘problem-solving' in the fields of crime, safety and justice. The structure of the scheme is based on the ‘SARA' mnemonic (Scanning, Analysis, Response, Assessment) which is familiar in policing and crime prevention practice as well as in the academy and in applied as well as in basic criminological research. We aim to develop your research skills by providing training in research methods and to maximise your career prospects by providing transferable skills.<br><br>Career prospects - The general shift from subject-centred to problem-oriented learning reflects, in part, the interests of prospective employers in graduates with the skill set to apply subject specific knowledge about crime, safety and justice to the analysis of, and response to, particular instances of these problems in the public, commercial and voluntary sectors.
