Policing and Investigations BA (Hons)

The new BA (Hons) Policing and Investigation at Liverpool John Moores University provides students with the knowledge and skills to consider direct entry into the role of a detective. This degree has been designed with modules written to have a greater focus on the area of investigations. We have developed this programme over many years of policing studies degree delivery, working with Merseyside Police Constabulary, College of Policing and other key stakeholders in the policing and criminal justice sectors. The resulting programme of study is a brand new course, which prepares students for the diverse world of investigative techniques, routes to detective specialisms and preparation for a rewarding career. Modules you will study have been written to ready students for an investigative career. Topics such as the Psychology of Investigation, Investigating Serious and Complex Cases and Professional Standards, Governance and Accountability are all covered in the proposed module structure for this new programme of study. Alongside the new modules, are new facilities that have been designed specifically for Policing students to explore investigative methods, the proper use of forensics, evidence and intelligence gathering at crime scenes.
