Criminology asks a host of challenging yet thought-provoking questions: why does crime happen? How should we deal with offenders? And what constitutes a crime?

Our online professional courses seek to explore and provide the answers to these questions.

Choose from courses in criminal psychology, crime and causation, forensics, victimisation or policing. 

Our online professional courses are also accredited by The CPD Certification Service, which provides independent CPD accreditation used to formally record CPD learning. Recognised in over 100 countries, the accreditation is compatible with international requirements and confirms our courses achieve qualitative standards required by professional bodies, institutional associations and education providers.
