    Criminology 3B - Approaches
    and Responses to Crime
    MODULE
    PURPOSE
    This module aims to provide
    further insight into the Criminology Theories that
    you have touched on in previous modules.
    Theories are used to describe, explain, predict, and
    control the subject matter to which they
    are related. In terms of this module, theories are
    used and applied to crime typologies in an
    attempt to gain a deeper understanding of the root
    causes of crime in order to inform social
    and crime policy which could be developed to
    address and prevent criminal behaviour.
