MA Organised Crime, Terrorism and Security
In recent years, issues of terrorism and organised crime have gained an unprecedented profile, provoked significant social concern, and dominated both law-and-order and many wider social policy agendas. Our MA Organised Crime, Terrorism and Security course draws on state-of-the-art research to address key critical issues surrounding organised criminality and terrorism in contemporary society.
We involve multi-level analyses of organised crime as a concept, alongside the impacts of urbanisation, migration and globalisation upon both the practice of crime and the ways in which we understand them. You will address cutting-edge critical, conceptual and theoretical analyses of terrorism and counterterrorism.
This course provides you with a strong grounding in the key theories, understandings and issues relating to organised crime and terrorism.
