Mental Disorder and Imprisonment
As we move into March, I am continuing to enjoy my final semester at the University of Leicester. I am very much enjoying both modules: Forensic Science and Criminal Justice, and Hate Crime. I look forward to sharing insights from these topics in future posts. For now, I want to take a look back at […]
The Rise in Hate Crime
Earlier this week an increase in hate crime was reported across England and Wales in the last year according to official figures from the Home Office. Further details can be found at this link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-41648865 As someone with a keen interest in studying hate crime, I’d like to make two points for […]
Thinking of studying abroad? Here’s how to go about it:
It will soon be that time of year again where the university year starts back up after a long summer, as well as this, it’ll also be the time of the year when you will have multiple different people come into your lectures to discuss things such as student ambassador roles, course representative roles and […]
A Unique Perspective on Forensic Science

I’ve personally always struggled a little bit with self-confidence and so at university, it […]

We Three Kings of Leicester Are …
Leicester as a city keeps gaining a global reputation. Aside that is, from the already attained global reputation of its University. Leicester can now be known for its three kings: one historical; one cultural and one allied with science. Historically, King Richard III died in Leicestershire and was found via an archaeological dig conducted by […]
Being a Participant in a Psychology Study
This term I got the really awesome opportunity of being a part of a Psychology study at university! Even though, being a Criminology student, I don’t belong to the Psychology department, I have always had quite a deep interest in Psychology and am still considering further study in it after graduation so getting to do […]
The Joys of Presenting
Presentation skills are important in business. The ability to convincingly assert your point is something that many of us are called upon to do, but don’t have the requisite skills to always accomplish. Presentations are now central to many job interviews, business meetings and electronic communications. Not to mention training interventions. One of my former roles […]
