Problems of criminal law and criminal justice are central to our society and this programme aims to bring these two areas under scrutiny together. This LLM addresses challenging issues of criminal law – the law of homicide, sexual offences, capacity and defences – as well as important questions of criminal procedure and practice – the role of the police, the nature of criminal defence and the trial process, youth justice and penal policy. These issues will be explored not only from a practical point of view, with the assistance of leading specialists, but also from theoretical, comparative and international perspectives.
