What it covers
The aim of this unit is to provide students with a critical understanding of the concept of 'justice' with a particular focus on victims of crime. This unit draws on interdisciplinary approaches from law, criminology and socio-legal studies to critically engage with the potentials and pitfalls of the law and legal practice on the experience of justice. Students are required to engage with current debates and issues in criminal law, to build understandings of the intersections between law, justice, victimology, power, race and gender.
