ASC333 Critical Criminology of Sports and Leisure
The module reimagines sport as an important critical criminological field that can help us better understand how discourses and practices of crime and justice produce and reinforce social inequalities. The intersections of sport and crime have received much attention from scholars working predominantly in the areas of law and legal studies. For the most part, this body of research has documented cases of corruption, cheating, and illegal behavior that occurs away from the arena and in contexts that fall outside of the direct purview of sport. Criminologists add to this field by considering how crime, deviance, and punishment in the sporting world produce and reproduce social inequalities. This course investigates the myriad ways that ideas, representations, and messages about crime, violence, and punishment in sport mirror broader relations of power that exist outside of sport. Covering a broad range of legal, cultural and social issues such as corruption, cheating, drug-use, doping, violence, and power we consider the role of critical criminology in addressing some of the crimes and harms associated with sport and leisure.

SPC303 Homicide: Criminalising Death and Dying
`Homicide: Criminalising Death and Dying¿ offers a critical exploration of homicide through a criminological lens. It assesses the cultural and legal parameters of killing by considering what constitutes homicide in contrasting contexts. The module focuses on a variety of forms of homicide, from politically motivated assassinations to corporate neglect and manslaughter. The spatial and temporal dynamics of homicide are examined with reference to debates on abortion and euthanasia. Collectively the lectures enable students to develop a comprehensive knowledge and theoretical understanding of homicide. The module explores homicide as a distinct criminological topic, whilst examining its relationship with criminology and criminal justice more broadly.
