This subject will employ cutting-edge thinking to examine criminology's key concepts, debates, and challenges. It will demonstrate how criminology's focus, function, and practice continues to evolve in relation to such thinking and how this produces diverse and changing policy responses to crime and social harm. This subject will consider various contemporary and historical case studies to examine these shifts. These will include decolonising criminology, the criminalisation of trans and gender diverse people, offshore detention, criminological approaches to the climate crisis, and movements for abolition.
