Module code: SAC4028-B
The module aims to explore how crime operates within the urban environment. Students will be introduced to the sociology of the city, including the influence of different cultures, geographical designs and historical influence on shaping cities. Following this, attention will be given to criminology and the urban landscape, exploring links between crime, justice and city settings. The module will focus on the local level, using Bradford as a core example, with students being encouraged to think about how themes and discussions reflect other city areas familiar to them. Interactions between different actors in the city - communities, statutory, private and third sector - and their influence on crime and the criminal justice system, will be referred to throughout. The module is part of a series of three modules in the first year that explain the context of study for criminology. The aim of this module is to help prepare the student for studying crime in local scenarios through increasing their understanding of the urban context. Download the PDF for SAC4028-B_2025_6.pdf
