Book Your PlaceCriminologists use theory to understand the causes of crime and the way in which criminal justice agencies respond to offenders.
The rule of law is the cornerstone of any just and fair society, and to be administered correctly it requires knowledgeable legal professionals.
A deeper understanding of the causes and effects of criminal behaviour can enable legal professionals to enhance their practice.
At Lincoln, we strive to make sure our student experience is engaging, supportive, and academically challenging. That is why, in response to the issues presented by the Covid-19 pandemic, we have been prioritising face-to-face teaching sessions for our new and returning students in areas where they are the most valuable, such as seminars, tutorials, workshops, and lab and practical sessions. Additional online opportunities have been introduced where they support learning and have been shown to be successful and popular with our current students.
Safety remains a key focus. We are fully prepared to adapt our plans if changes in Government guidance makes this necessary, and we will endeavour to keep current and prospective students informed.
