Browse Hierarchy HIST6006: Advanced Study in the History of Crime

This module offers you the opportunity to make a concentrated study of a specialised topic in the history of crime. The topic or topics offered will be closely related to staff research interests, and will foster a familiarity with current research and a critical awareness of recent scholarship in the area under study. Research skills, including an evaluative appreciation of primary sources and their uses, will be developed. This module builds on the knowledge and capabilities developed in the level four and five History modules, and especially Crime and Punishment through the Ages and Jack the Ripper and the Victorian Underworld. It complements the other level six Advanced Study modules in offering you the opportunity to work on a specialised topic at an advanced undergraduate level, and thus deepen your understanding of historical knowledge and methods.
