    Description

    Criminology Level 3 Qualification. Criminology is the scientific study of crime, criminal behaviour, and the criminal justice system. It examines the causes, consequences, and prevention of criminal behaviour, as well as the social and institutional responses to crime. Criminology is an interdisciplinary field that incorporates insights from sociology, psychology, law, anthropology, political science, and other disciplines.

    Goals of Criminology:

    • To reduce crime rates through informed policies and practices.
    • To understand and address the root causes of criminal behavior.
    • To promote fairness and justice within the criminal justice system.
    • To enhance public safety and societal well-being.

    Criminology helps bridge the gap between theoretical research and practical application, shaping policies and laws to create a more just and equitable society.

    Learners can achieve their Criminology Level 3 qualification online over a 12 month max period. During this time you can log in and out to suit your personal circumstances.

    ABC Quality Licence Scheme – Certificate of Achievement

    At the end of this course successful learners will receive a Certificate of Achievement from ABC Awards and Certa Awards and  a Learner Unit Summary (which lists the details all of the units you have completed as part of your course).

    The course has been endorsed under the ABC Awards’ Quality Licence Scheme & is offered in partnership with Kendal Publishing. This means that Kendal Publishing has undergone an external quality check to ensure that the organisation and the courses it offers, meet certain quality criteria.  The completion of this course alone does not lead to an Ofqual regulated qualification but may be used as evidence of knowledge and skills towards regulated qualifications in the future.

    The unit summary can be used as evidence towards Recognition of Prior Learning if you wish to progress your studies in this sector.  To this end the learning outcomes of the course have been benchmarked at Level 3 against level descriptors published by OFQUAL, to indicate the depth of study and level of difficulty involved in successful completion by the learner.

    The course itself has been designed by Kendal Publishing to meet specific learners’ and /or employers requirements which cannot be satisfied through current regulated qualifications. Abc Awards & Cert awards endorsement involves robust and rigorous quality audits by external auditors to ensure quality is continually met. A review of courses is carried out as part of the endorsement process.
