Overview

Many serious 'white collar' crimes committed by corporations are often overlooked by our criminal justice process. On this unique Criminology (Corporate Crime and Corporate Responsibility) programme offered at the University of Surrey , you’ll develop a deep understanding of the kinds of offences corporations are implicated in and what kinds of responses from the criminal justice system would be most appropriate in dealing with this.

Career opportunities

This course will sharpen your ability to think in a logical and informed manner about an array of problems, as well as train you to conduct effective research in this and other areas of criminology. This innovative course is designed to develop your knowledge and understanding of the way corporations can become involved in crime and the role of corporate social responsibility in helping manage this. It will also provide expertise in applying some of the key criminological theories to explain issues in crime and the criminal justice system.
