LLM Master of Laws
Criminology

The LSE provides one of the intellectually richest environments for the postgraduate study of criminology and criminal justice in Europe. LSE Law includes experts in all aspects of these subjects, including criminal law theory, evidence, procedure and sentencing; theory of criminal law; mental health law; policing and enforcement; and theories of justice. LSE Law academics are regularly consulted by government and law enforcement agencies, and are influential in policy formation. The teaching approach is interdisciplinary, collaborating closely with the Departments of Sociology and Social Policy, under the auspices of the prestigious Mannheim Centre for Criminology. The Mannheim Centre's seminars attract world class academic and public sector speakers, and provide a stimulating programme enabling LLM students to encounter a diversity of theoretical and policy perspectives enriched by a wide range of practical experience.
