Introduction
This degree is designed to support the practice of those working or wishing to work in the criminal justice system and allied welfare roles: Prison Officers, Probation Service Officers, Youth Offending/Youth Justice Officers, Youth Workers, Housing Officers, Support Workers, Witness Support, Drug and Alcohol Worker, Education Welfare Officer, Community Development Worker and all those who come into contact with people affected by involvement in crime and all forms of social disorder. This degree would also be suitable for those contemplating degree-holder entry to a career in the police.
All learning and assessment is linked to practice in the field and allows the student flexibility to focus on specific areas of interest in their own practice areas or, if able to, move between professional fields in inter-professional exchanges, visits or voluntary work experiences. A key focus will be on developing an understanding of the theories underpinning a range of approaches in practice for managing and supporting people on the edges of or engaged in crime, with the aim of developing a more collaborative action between services in the community.
