Criminology and Policing: Referencing

Everything you need to know about referencing

Students in Criminology, Criminal Justice and Policing are required to reference using (Cite Them Right) Harvard Style. 

Please note: Some modules may be cross-listed and taught by staff from other subject areas, so students are advised to check with their module leader as to the preferred referencing style for module assessments. For example, Psychology modules may use the APA style; Law uses OSCOLA.
