The module seeks to develop a critical awareness of crime and law in its broader social and political
context. This module explores the major theories of criminality and contrasts these with how our criminal
justice system operates and how we attempt to control crime as a society. It examines issues of justice from
a socio-legal perspective, focusing on the needs of victims of crime, offenders and the broader needs of
society
