What it is
The degree draws on sociology, psychology and political science and adds criminal law and justice systems, crime prevention strategies, security studies and the use of technology and data analysis in crime research. You compare how criminal justice works in different countries and learn the methods used to examine crime trends. The programme works with Transcrime, a research centre that provides current insights and practical tools for crime analysis, and being in Milan connects you to European crime prevention networks and policy institutions. It is described as the only English-taught undergraduate criminology degree in continental Europe.
