Crime Research Centre

Teaching

Research-led teaching is a key strength of the Crime Research Centre, with our members teaching a wide range of crime-related topics at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.

The Centre is home to the LLM in Criminal Law and Criminology.

We also provide a number of core and optional modules on the undergraduate law degrees, as well as the following postgraduate degrees:

Among our members are authors of two of the leading textbooks on criminal law and criminal justice. Mark Walters co-authors Clarkson and Keating: Criminal Law with Sally Kyd and Tracey Elliott (University of Leicester). Lucy Welsh co-authors Sanders and Young’s Criminal Justice with Layla Skinns (University of Sheffield) and Andrew Sanders (University of Warwick).
