Overview
During this Crime and Global Justice module from The Open University UK you'll be introduced to criminological approaches used for critically thinking about crime, harm and justice.
Through an examination of diverse constructions of crime, global harms and examples of resistance, it provides a framework for understanding the conception, interrogation and reception of criminological knowledge.
Building on Principles of social and psychological inquiry (DD801), it enhances students' skills in critically reading the social world, understanding, analysing and questioning national, transnational and global policies and in deconstructing media representations of crime and justice.
