This subject definitely has the potential to be good, but in my experience, topics were presented in quite a one-sided way, and even when they weren't, you were pressed through readings and tutorials to have a particular opinion. This may have just been my tutorial, but my tutor had very strong opinions. It felt like critical thinking was encouraged when looking at traditional concepts, but when alternate views were presented these weren't supposed to be criticised.

Topics were interesting however the subject was poorly coordinated and difficult to do well in. A lot of the feedback given on assignments was unclear and unspecific which made it difficult to improve grades

The subject is interesting and eye-opening. It engages a lot with theories about power and it is a good opportunity to learn about controversial topics.

A really eye-opening subject, the lecturers were great and the content was super interesting! You really dig deep to understand the effect that power (through law) has on how society functions. This subject has a reputation of being hard to score well in (bit of a step up from CRIM10001), but I think it’s worth it :)

I highly recommend this subject to those interested in law, criminology, politics, history, or even those who simply have a broad interest in how society functions. This subject was really thought-provoking and our lecturer, Juliet, was simply amazing! That said, essay feedback could be slightly unclear.

Great subject, loads of interesting content (although sometimes the readings were heavy) and the tutorials were really useful, especially discussing topics that might be included in an assessment

A brilliant and intriguing first year subject for those who want a taste in criminology, law, sociology or politics with challenging content and engaging tutorials. The discussions and debates during class was an eye-opener for everyone with no simple solution to any of the topics covered. However, the subject could be coordinated better and this is not an easy subject to score an H1 in.

So far the best subject I've done. Every week, we were presented with difficult concepts to swallow, but so so rewarding to learn about and understand. I hate to say it but I feel much more woke after this subject. Claire was quirky and adorable and very clearly cares about what she teaches and I wish I had the courage to approach her and thank her for creating a big interest in the way law and harm operate. I would highly recommend this subject, it was overall very interesting, rewarding and you will probably do well (if you care about subjugated people).

This year I have gained the most valuable lessons from this subject. The lecturer, Claire, has been outstanding, funny, brilliant, wise and a very effective communicator. Law in society has opened my eyes to the way the liberalism and law cooperate, and has given me the ability to hold two totally opposing thoughts about the world in my head and appreciate the value of each thought. I would highly recommend this subject if you're intending on majoring in criminology, sociology or politics.
