Sociology with Police Studies BA (Hons)

Studying Sociology with Police Studies BA (Hons) at York St John University will give you the opportunity to explore and address issues that are relevant to contemporary society but where a major focus of your work will pursue issues relating to policing. You will benefit from being taught on Police modules by staff with significant and varied experience within the police force.

You will develop a sound understanding of various theoretical perspectives and are trained in the qualitative and quantitative research methods used by sociologists and others working in social science occupations. There is ample scope for you to pursue your own interests through assignments and there are lots of opportunities for you to contribute to sociological debates and to debates regarding how to police a diverse and dynamic society. To support students in this we will help you to develop a critical knowledge of the relationship between theory and empiricism, and apply methods appropriate to the study of sociology and Police Studies as you initiate, design, plan, and execute research. There is an emphasis on the development of reasoned thought and action, and of transferable critical thinking skills.
