• ASC111 The Criminological Imagination

  This module aims to define the theoretical and empirical contours of criminology as a distinct discipline and to place these in the context of the historical, social, economic and political developments from which the discipline emerged. Central to this enterprise is the question: what does it mean to be a criminologist? To explore this question, the module will combine an exploration of key criminological concepts with explorations of seminal criminological texts, textbooks and blogs.
