Overview

What is This Course About?

The Online Criminal Law Course is aimed at providing foundation knowledge in the body of law related to crime. It gives a clear definition of criminal law and describes its scope and principles. It also tackles various types of crimes, explaining in-depth the nature and elements of each offence. The course also touches upon the concept of defence, going over what it is and its different forms.

A conduct that threatens, harms or puts a person’s health, safety and moral welfare in danger is punishable under criminal law. As this body of rules is quite complex and wide in scope, however, gaining an insight about it is vital to its effective enforcement. As such, by taking this course, students will be able to develop their understanding of different aspects of criminal law, including the conducts that it considers punishable. This will give them a strong foundation knowledge on the subject, which will be advantageous should they decide to get into the field of law enforcement.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
