Criminal investigation is a central part of police activity, and from looking at the news every day we can see how it influences the public perception of the police and their accountability and legitimacy. The increase in crime, and the way crime is committed today, provides very different challenges to the detectives of the past. On this course students will adopt a critical approach to criminal investigations, exploring police effectiveness in historic sexual and homicide investigations, public protection, and covert operations. Students will learn about the current context within which detectives work, including a national shortage of detectives, government austerity measures and the rise in technology and complex criminality. This course is an excellent choice for those who want to gain a solid grounding in police criminal investigations while also developing broad knowledge and skills that will set them up for a wide range of careers in criminal justice and beyond or further studies.
