Trefnydd: Dr Tim Holmes

This module covers several key areas of the academic study of criminal behaviour. Starting with an examination of criminology and crime prevention strategies. Students will learn the fundamentals of what motivates people to offend and effective strategies to prevent offending. The module will then move on to look at the role of the police in intervening and reducing repeat offending and conclude with discussion of victimology.

This module examines the main criminological and sociological theories relating to offending behaviour and victimisation. Drawing on the work of key theorist students will learn to critically analyse and evaluate them and their application to policing. Crime prevention and rehabilitation strategies and initiatives will be discussed and students will learn to evaluate and critique their effectiveness with discussion of current research in this area. Learning in this module is supplemented with a range of online educational resources and workplace learning.
Rhestr Darlithoedd / Class List: Classes will involve a combination of lecture content and group discussion regarding the application of criminological theory to the practical aspects of police work.
