Green criminology is an expanding area of interest that speaks to contemporary concerns about sustainability, climate change, environmental justice, biodiversity, and nonhuman animal harm. The MRes in Green Criminology and Environmental Crime draws on Liverpool Hope University's significant research strength in green criminology, and offers an innovative programme for aspiring academic researchers, policy-makers, and practitioners with an interest in a subject at the cutting edge of contemporary criminology. As the first programme of its type in the UK, this unique course aims to give students a robust grounding in the study of green criminology, nonhuman animal victimology, and environmental justice. Across two taught modules and an original research dissertation you will engage with in-depth subject teaching in this area, as well as advanced quantitative and qualitative research skills, and the ethics and practicalities of conducting research on environmental crime. This will build towards the production of an original research dissertation that explores a contemporary issue in line with the course content. By providing you with a world-leading understanding of the core issues in this field, and the skills to produce high-quality original research, it will allow you to pursue careers in and around criminal justice and environmental policy or practice, advocacy, or to engage in advanced academic study via further postgraduate research qualifications.
