How do we explain why people commit crime? What makes someone a serial killer? Criminologists have produced theoretical explanations of why people commit crime, but which is the most useful? How do we decide what behaviour is criminal? To what extent are we misled by our tastes in programmes and newspapers about crime? Who decides what behaviours should be against the law? Who gathers information about crime? Can this information be trusted? Can we trust our own instincts? What different types of crime are there which take place in our society? What kinds of crime exist about which we know very little, or which are simply not reported to the police and the media? Why are some crimes under-reported or not in the public eye? What are the roles of personnel involved when a crime is detected? What investigative techniques are available to investigators to help to identify the culprit? What happens to a suspect once charged by the police and the Crown Prosecution Service? What safeguards are in place to ensure a suspect has a fair trial? This two year Diploma is taught four hours per week. It will hopefully help you to answer these questions and more!
