The Global Criminology MA is designed to develop your knowledge and critical understanding of criminology as an interdisciplinary subject that incorporates legal, political and psychological, as well as social scientific approaches to the study of crime, deviance, and criminal and social justice. Led by academic experts in the area, this new course will focus on two themes – global criminology and critical criminology – giving you the unique opportunity to study the subject with both an international and critical focus. Global criminology is a relatively new and growing area of criminology that is at the forefront of developments in postcolonial, decolonial and southern theories. It is a specialist area of critical criminology, which explores issues of crime and justice within the context of power relations and structural inequalities such as class, gender, nationality, ethnicity, disability, age and sexuality.

Este mestrado dota-o de uma compreensão profunda da forma como a teoria, os conceitos e os métodos criminológicos podem ser aplicados e compreendidos no contexto da prática da justiça criminal. O Mestrado em Criminologia Aplicada oferece aos estudantes um programa de estudo prático, contemporâneo e criticamente empenhado que se baseia na vasta experiência prática e nas especialidades de investigação aplicada da equipa de professores de criminologia.

O conhecimento que você obterá com este curso será inestimável ao encontrar a ameaça sempre presente e cada vez mais complexa à segurança local, nacional e global.
