There is also a need to understand the societal problems prevailing in the community that drive individuals to engage in criminal activities. This criminology course teaches you how well-planned crime prevention strategies help to prevent crime and reduce violence.

We first introduce you to the biological, psychological and social factors that contribute to criminal behaviour. We identify the different types of social crimes and describe their effects on women, children and the elderly. We go over the correct reporting procedure for crime and discuss the various strategies used to prevent social crime and help the victims with legal aid and compensation. The course explores the role of the media in reporting crime and outlines its positive and negative influence on public perception.

We then explain how rehabilitation and reintegration of offenders can contribute to building a safer society. We use real-life examples to demonstrate how transnational crime prevention strategies are helping in the detection and prevention of drug and human trafficking, environmental crimes and modern-day slavery. If you are passionate about community safety and wellbeing, take this course, learn about the community outreach programmes and raise public awareness of social crimes. This criminology course is open to everyone interested in enhancing their knowledge of crime prevention and awareness of crime reduction efforts.
