In this Criminal Justice - People and Processes program at University of Salford, you will be taught by internationally renowned criminological experts alongside engagement with our professional partners (criminal justice practitioners, policymakers, voluntary sector professionals) and those who are experts by experience (including victims, offenders, and their families).

A critical exploration of criminal justice processes, drawing on UK and international comparative examples to understand key institutions and agencies that make up criminal justice systems.
An evidence-based consideration of the lived experiences of individuals who experience the criminal justice system including offenders, victims, families, professionals and practitioners through case studies, vignettes, and live inputs.
