Foundations of Security and Crime Science (SECU0031)

It is compulsory across all of the programmes in the Department of Security and Crime Science, and provides an introduction. Foundations of Security & Crime Science is a core module undertaken by all masters students in the Department of Security and Crime Science. The purpose of this module is to set out the foundational concepts, theories and approaches that underpin the masters programmes offered in the Department. In this way the module provides an overarching framework for the modules that follow. It outlines the distinctive nature of the crime science approach to understanding, preventing, detecting and investigating crime and security problems. It presents the key theories that explain the temporal and spatial patterning of crime and terrorism events, and introduces students to associated strategies for disrupting these patterns. The need for a multidisciplinary approach – especially the integration of the social, life and physical sciences - to address crime and security problems is emphasised, with the contributions of the forensic sciences and security technology highlighted.
