Criminology and policing and builds on the successful Criminology undergraduate provision. The Department is small, friendly, and focused on providing students with a personalised, transformative student experience.</p> <p>This course is uniquely designed to offer students a foundation of critical criminological knowledge through which concerns relating to matters of social justice, equality and diversity are examined, promote access to social justice for all within the criminal justice system and wider society.</p> <p>This will equip students to be prepared for the ethical challenges in applying their knowledge to this challenging area of practice and enquiry in their future careers.</p> <p>You will be taught by an experienced team of academics, some of whom draw on their experience within the Criminal Justice System, and all of whom are actively engaged in innovative research, which informs their teaching. This provides our students with a contemporary knowledge of criminological and social justice issues to support the Newman mission to empower our students to transform society.</p> <p>The Department has links with overseas institutions, with the teaching team being invited to present and share their research and knowledge, developing this extended academic network for the benefit of our students.</p> <p>Students can study full-time (1 year) or part-time (over 2 years) electing to progress at their own pace. The programme is timetabled to enable participation by working and to promote a work / life balance.</p> <p>Students will be taught through a blended approach to learning that balances traditional teaching methods, such as tutorials, lectures and seminars, with other delivery methods such as field observations, opportunities for work-place observation and learning, the use of virtual learning environments, external expert speakers, interactive learning workshops, and external visits. The programme views your learning within the ‘classroom’ as one part of a rich learning environment, which includes your own lived experiences.</p> <p><strong>We continue to accept applications for September 2023.</strong><strong> Applications to join us in 2024</strong><strong> </strong><strong>can be submitted from this September.</strong></p> </div> </div> <input type="checkbox" id="input-2" class="hidden hidden--fixed aria-checkbox" aria-describedby="acc-desc-2" data-related-to="label-2" /> <div class="accordion__content"> <label class="label h3" aria-expanded="false" for="input-2" aria-controls="acc-desc-2" id="label-2"> Why study this course? <span class="cross"> <span class="horizontal"></span> <span class="vertical"></span> </span> </label> <div id="acc-desc-2" class="description"> <p>The MA Criminology and Social Justice has the following special features:</p> <ul> <li>Provides a broader perspective than other Criminology courses by exploring the relationship between criminal and social justice, in both a local context, and a global context.</li> <li>Draws a conceptual distinction between crime and social harm</li> <li>Reflects the University’s commitment to Social Justice.</li> <li>Opportunities for students to negotiate the content of modules with staff.</li> <li>Taught by committed research active staff who have experience as practitioners.</li> <li>Opportunities for students to engage with practitioners in a variety of criminal justice settings.</li> <li>Highly focused and student-centred programme with small class sizes and a high level of individual support for students</li> <li>Enhanced employability skills needed for careers in a range of criminal justice agencies, public bodies, local and central government, and community organisations.</li> </ul> </div> </div> <input type="checkbox" id="input-3" class="hidden hidden--fixed aria-checkbox" aria-describedby="acc-desc-3" data-related-to="label-3" /> <div class="accordion__content"> <label class="label h3" aria-expanded="false" for="input-3" aria-controls="acc-desc-3" id="label-3"> What does the course cover? <span class="cross"> <span class="horizontal"></span> <span class="vertical"></span> </span> </label> <div id="acc-desc-3" class="description"> <p>This course, while located in the field of criminology, has a distinct and contemporary focus on issues of social justice in relation to individuals, particular sections of society and the community as a whole.

This enables students to reflect and critically analyse the criminal justice system and social justice interventions, drawing on relevant history and cultural context, along with social and political theories, to inform and influence the practice of critical criminology.</p> <p>This progressive understanding and reflection will enable students to focus on areas of interest to either enhance their current professional roles or prepare them for future career preferences, though completion of their research dissertation which enables student to engage at the forefront of the criminology discipline.</p> </div> </div> <input type="checkbox" id="input-4" class="hidden hidden--fixed aria-checkbox" aria-describedby="acc-desc-4" data-related-to="label-4" /> <div class="accordion__content"> <label class="label h3" aria-expanded="false" for="input-4" aria-controls="acc-desc-4" id="label-4"> How will I be assessed? <span class="cross"> <span class="horizontal"></span> <span class="vertical"></span> </span> </label> <div id="acc-desc-4" class="description"> <p>The MA in Criminology and Social Justice programme draws on a range of assessment methods resulting in a balanced portfolio of assessment which provides students with the opportunity to demonstrate a range of academic skills that enhance their capacities as critical citizens and prepare them for employment.</p> <p>Assessments include:</p> <ul> <li>Essays – on negotiated topics and with negotiated titles</li> <li>Group work/individual presentations</li> <li>Critical review</li> <li>Presentation of seminar papers</li> <li>Research proposals</li> <li>Practical research projects</li> <li>Research reports</li> <li>Dissertation – students will have the opportunity to reflect their own personal interests in undertaking a dissertation in relation to a topic of their choice, reflecting their chosen field of current or future practice.</li> </ul> </div> </div> <input type="checkbox" id="input-5" class="hidden hidden--fixed aria-checkbox" aria-describedby="acc-desc-5" data-related-to="label-5" /> <div class="accordion__content"> <label class="label h3" aria-expanded="false" for="input-5" aria-controls="acc-desc-5" id="label-5"> Attendance <span class="cross"> <span class="horizontal"></span> <span class="vertical"></span> </span> </label> <div id="acc-desc-5" class="description"> <p>This programme is designed to support the learning needs of postgraduate students, with teaching and learning provided through a range of blended learning approaches, drawing on online lectures and materials that can be studied at the student’s own pace.

The particular problems presented by the different methodical approaches, including ethical issues, will be explored with a view to enabling students to apply their learning to developing the theoretical and methodological grounding for their own Master’s dissertation. <div> <a class="hide-desktop" href="javascript:void(0)" title="Hide Module information" aria-controls="year--0_module--crm7022">Hide module information</a> </div> </div> </li> <li class="item"> <input type="checkbox" id="input-year--0_module--crm7043" class="aria-checkbox" aria-describedby="year--0_module--crm7043" data-related-to="label-year--0_module--crm7043" /> <label id="label-year--0_module--crm7043" class="label" aria-expanded="false" for="input-year--0_module--crm7043" aria-controls="year--0_module--crm7043"> <h3 class="feature-copy">Justice and Place</h3> <span class="y-cred">30 Credits</span> <span class="required font-serif">(Compulsory)</span> <a class="hide-desktop" href="javascript:void(0)" title="Show Module information">Show module information</a> </label> <div id="year--0_module--crm7043"> This module focuses on the relationship between justice and place, exploring how justice, both criminal and social, is distributed in different geographic locations. By studying the history and geography of differing locations (cities, countries etc) together with the operation of social policies and criminal justice agencies students will develop a critical awareness of places a sight of justice (and injustice). A recurrent theme that will run throughout the module will be how criminal and social justice are linked and interventions within one impact on the other. This is reflected in the modules assignment which requires students to explore social justice solutions to problems often responded to through criminal justice interventions. <div> <a class="hide-desktop" href="javascript:void(0)" title="Hide Module information" aria-controls="year--0_module--crm7043">Hide module information</a> </div> </div> </li> <li class="item"> <input type="checkbox" id="input-year--0_module--crm7054" class="aria-checkbox" aria-describedby="year--0_module--crm7054" data-related-to="label-year--0_module--crm7054" /> <label id="label-year--0_module--crm7054" class="label" aria-expanded="false" for="input-year--0_module--crm7054" aria-controls="year--0_module--crm7054"> <h3 class="feature-copy">Applied Psycho-social Criminology</h3> <span class="y-cred">30 Credits</span> <span class="required font-serif">(Compulsory)</span> <a class="hide-desktop" href="javascript:void(0)" title="Show Module information">Show module information</a> </label> <div id="year--0_module--crm7054"> This module will introduce students to the interdisciplinary framework of psychosocial studies and explore how this generates new perspectives on criminal behaviour. Initial tutor led input will critically engage with psychosocial theory that seeks to fuse psychoanalytic and post structural insights on the individual, society and culture. Students will then select an enquiry topic from a range of socially harmful and criminal behaviours, and present their findings in the form of a seminar paper to the rest of the group. <div> <a class="hide-desktop" href="javascript:void(0)" title="Hide Module information" aria-controls="year--0_module--crm7054">Hide module information</a> </div> </div> </li> <li class="item"> <input type="checkbox" id="input-year--0_module--crm7035" class="aria-checkbox" aria-describedby="year--0_module--crm7035" data-related-to="label-year--0_module--crm7035" /> <label id="label-year--0_module--crm7035" class="label" aria-expanded="false" for="input-year--0_module--crm7035" aria-controls="year--0_module--crm7035"> <h3 class="feature-copy">Criminology & Social Justice Dissertation</h3> <span class="y-cred">60 Credits</span> <span class="required font-serif">(Compulsory)</span> <a class="hide-desktop" href="javascript:void(0)" title="Show Module information">Show module information</a> </label> <div id="year--0_module--crm7035"> This module provides students with the opportunity to explore a topic of their own choosing through autonomously undertaking empirical research (either qualitative or quantitative) supported by a member of staff from the subject area (or elsewhere) with appropriate specialist knowledge. They will be expected to engage with knowledge at the forefront of the discipline, identify and use established techniques of research and enquiry to produce a formal written thesis in line with the University’s guidelines. Students will build upon the proposal developed in CRM702 working with their supervisor to refine their proposal, gain ethical approval and carry out their project. Workshops supporting students to develop skills for their field work are timetabled and students are encouraged to work independently with their supervisor to arrange supervision. In addition, writing retreats are delivered in the later stages to facilitate the analysis and writing up stages of the research process. <div> <a class="hide-desktop" href="javascript:void(0)" title="Hide Module information" aria-controls="year--0_module--crm7035">Hide module information</a> </div> </div> </li> </ol> </article> </div> </section> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div>  <footer id="footer" class="footer" role="contentinfo"> <div class="constrain"> <div> <a class="footer-logo" href="https://www.newman.ac.uk/"><img alt="Newman University Birmingham Logo" title="Newman University Birmingham" src="https://www.newman.ac.uk/wp-content/themes/newman-university-flagship/img/newman_birmingham_new_logo.png" /></a> <address> Genners Lane, Bartley Green, Birmingham, B32 3NT </address> <a class="phone" href="tel:+44(0)1214761181">Tel: +44(0)121 476 1181</a> </div> <div> <ul class="social"> <li> <a rel="noopener" aria-label="Link to Newman University social network" href="https://www.facebook.com/newmanuniversity/"> <i class="fa fa-classic fa-brands fa-square-facebook" aria-hidden="true"></i> </a> </li> <li> <a rel="noopener" aria-label="Link to Newman University social network" href="https://twitter.com/Newman_Uni"> <i class="fa fa-classic fa-brands fa-x-twitter" aria-hidden="true"></i> </a> </li> <li> <a rel="noopener" aria-label="Link to Newman University social network" href="https://www.youtube.com/user/newmanunibham?src=youtube"> <i class="fa fa-classic fa-brands fa-youtube" aria-hidden="true"></i> </a> </li> <li> <a rel="noopener" aria-label="Link to Newman University social network" href="https://www.instagram.com/newmanuni/"> <i class="fa fa-classic fa-brands fa-instagram" aria-hidden="true"></i> </a> </li> <li> <a rel="noopener" aria-label="Link to Newman University social network" href="https://www.snapchat.com/add/newmanuni"> <i class="fa fa-classic fa-brands fa-snapchat" aria-hidden="true"></i> </a> </li> <li> <a rel="noopener" aria-label="Link to Newman University social network" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@newman_university"> <i class="fa fa-classic fa-brands fa-tiktok" aria-hidden="true"></i> </a> </li> </ul> <ul id="menu-footer-navigation" class="menu"><li id="menu-item-9318" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-9318"><a href="https://login.newman.ac.uk/my/webmail">Webmail</a></li> <li id="menu-item-22402" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-22402"><a href="/about-us/contact-us/">Contact Us</a></li> <li id="menu-item-22288" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-22288"><a href="https://www.newman.ac.uk/knowledge-base/cookies-privacy-policy/">Cookies & Privacy Policy</a></li> <li id="menu-item-22405" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-22405"><a href="/about-us/work-at-newman/">Work at Newman</a></li> <li id="menu-item-22276" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-22276"><a href="https://www.newman.ac.uk/study/why-newman/facilities/">Services & Facilities</a></li> <li id="menu-item-100911" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-100911"><a href="https://www.newman.ac.uk/knowledge-base/accessibility-statement/">Accessibility Statement</a></li> <li class="extend-footer"><button id="open-extended-footer" data-target="footer-extended">More <i class="fa fa-chevron-right" aria-hidden="true"></i></button></li></ul> </div> </div> <div class="extended-footer" tabindex="-1" id="extended-footer"> <div class="constrain"> <ul id="menu-extended-footer-navigation" class="menu"><li id="menu-item-22756" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-22756"><a href="https://libguides.newman.ac.uk/">Library</a></li> <li id="menu-item-22129" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-22129"><a href="/knowledge-base/payment-portal">Payment Portal</a></li> <li id="menu-item-22453" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-22453"><a href="https://landing.newman.ac.uk/">Our Newman</a></li> <li id="menu-item-22759" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-22759"><a href="/article-categories/sports-centre/">Sports Centre</a></li> <li id="menu-item-25849" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-25849"><a href="/article-categories/student-support/">Student Support</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </footer> <script> ( function ( body ) { 'use strict';
