Welcome to the School of Languages, Law and Social Sciences at DIT On behalf of the staff of the School of Languages, Law and Social Sciences I wish you a rewarding and successful year ahead. You have enrolled on a highly sought after post-graduate programme and we hope you will find it challenging, stimulating and exciting. This handbook is designed to give you information about the MA in Criminology, staff teaching on the programme, the organization of the School as well as the library, computer and support services available to students of the Dublin Institute of Technology. All information in the handbook is correct at time of printing and any changes will be notified to you directly. Apart from academic endeavours, going to college has lots to offer in the sporting, cultural and social spheres. We encourage you to make the most of what is on offer, both within the DIT and in the wider city, and to develop new interests, make new friends and broaden your horizons. Wishing you every success on your chosen course, Dr. Kevin Lalor, Head of School of Languages, Law and Social Sciences Programme Staff and ManagementThe programme will be delivered by a team full-time academic staff at the Department of Social Science including Dr. Matt Bowden, Dr. Mairéad Seymour, Dr. Nicola Hughes, Dr. Sinéad Freeman, Dr. Kevin Lalor and Colette Barry. Core staff on the programme have combined expertise in the disciplines of law, psychology, sociology, research methods and social science. The multi-disciplinary nature of the staff team combined with their post-graduate qualifications in criminology and related subjects is one of the key strengths of the programme. In addition, all staff are research active in the criminological and criminal justice field, exploring a range of issues including the ‘new punitiveness’, penal policy, imprisonment, anti-social behaviour orders, crime prevention, juvenile justice, alternatives to custody, homelessness and criminality, victimisation, the governance of security, policing and juvenile prostitution. The programme is managed by a Programme Committee consisting of the Head of School, Programme Chair, staff teaching on the programme and student representatives. The programme is supported by an advisory group drawn from a wide group of agencies in the criminal justice field and related interests and in the wider sector. Staff Team
