I am also studying criminology more generally especially into what motivates people to commit crime, and the role the media play in the public’s perception of crime. My academic. interest in crime comes from the link it has to terrorism and the more I’ve studied it the more multi-faceted and complex issue it becomes.

Brief Description:
On this two hour course get a brief introduction into the world of Criminology. This course is designed for beginners and those with some previous experience of the subject.
You will discover what Criminology is and what it means today.
Crime is a major issue in society, it makes some people afraid, for others it is a way of life but for the majority of the public there is an interest which has given birth to a whole industry in fiction and non-fiction storytelling via films, books and magazines. Crime ranges from the non-violent and trivial to serious and violent (including murder).
This course will give you a brief snippet from various topics including; the definition of crime, the causes of crime, types of crime, who is a criminal, the media reporting of crime, reporting crime to the police and why it is important, who are the victims of crime, a brief overview of the criminal justice system and why are we so fascinated and appalled by crime.
Previous Experience and Knowledge Needed?
No previous experience or knowledge is required, but a keen interest in criminology or other social sciences would be an advantage.
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of the course you will have gained a general overview of the crime picture in the UK, and been exposed to topics that will be covered on the longer courses available throughout the year.
For the first session you will need to bring….
There is no requirement for a course book as one will be provided, it is also recommended that you bring along a pen and paper for note taking if you wish to do so.
On completion of this course, what might your next steps be?
Join the longer courses on either Saturday 19th October (5 hours) or the 8 week evening course starting on Thursday 25th September.

Brief Description:
The last few years have been marked by geopolitical conflict, Ukraine and Israel/Gaza being the main two. In the tutors view this is likely to intensify as the Western democratic nations seem to be on a path of decline, leading to the destruction of the current world order. This will have direct economic consequences in terms of the continued increase in the cost of living being currently felt by us all. This taster is aimed at anyone who has an interest in, or wants to know about current issues in geopolitics aka International Relations.
Keys topics are:
· Introduction; what are International Relations and how are global events analysed and interpreted using the main schools of thought of IR which are Realism, Constructivism and Neoliberal Institutionalism?
· The current and near future geopolitical outlook.
· The decline of the Western order and the rise of the challengers; China and Russia and their BRIC’s allies.
· How will Britain navigate the hostile waters of the current geopolitical environment?
· Potential conflict in the Asia-Pacific region between a rising superpower in China versus the current world superpower – the United States.
· The rise of global terror.
PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE NEEDED:
None, but an interest in current affairs would be advantageous.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
This taster session will give you an insight into the world of Geopolitics and the ability to understand and analyse key geopolitical events both present and future.
FOR THE FIRST SESSION YOU WILL NEED TO BRING
There is no requirement for a course book as one will be provided, it is also recommended that you bring along a pen and paper for note-taking if you wish to do so.
