Course Overview
📚 Subject Focus
The Sociology, Social Policy & Criminology programmes at Southampton let you explore how societies work, how people behave, and how systems of justice, governance and social policy operate in contexts of inequality, power, identity and conflict.
You’ll examine questions such as:
• Why do societies develop norms, hierarchies and identities?
• How does crime emerge, how is it defined and how do societies respond to offending?
• What role do social policies play in shaping welfare, justice systems and public life?
The interdisciplinary approach draws on sociological theory, criminological practice, public policy analysis and methodological training so you graduate with both academic depth and practical understanding.
