Law
How do UK and international legal systems operate, and what are their effects? What leads some people, but not others, into crime?
Modules in this sub-theme will help you understand crime, punishment, the law, regulation and legal systems in the UK and around the world. Some modules are directly focused on these aspects, whilst some look at how legal issues have been important in the past, or have been treated in art and literature. Other modules explore how legal systems interact with other aspects of human society, communities and cultures – eg what does the law mean for business, journalism and healthcare?
