Delve into the core of contemporary debates surrounding crime, harm, and justice, exploring their causes, consequences, and the ways society addresses them.
Critically investigate the structures and processes within our social and legal systems, examining how laws are enforced, how communities respond to wrongdoing, and how victims and offenders are supported—or sometimes overlooked. You’ll engage with complex questions about fairness, accountability, rehabilitation, and the balance between public safety and individual rights.
Through this exploration, you’ll also consider innovative approaches and emerging opportunities to transform justice systems—looking at reforms, restorative practices, and policies aimed at creating more equitable, compassionate, and effective responses to crime. This critical and solutions-focused perspective will equip you to contribute meaningfully to shaping a fairer and more inclusive justice landscape.
