Arabic A level or criminology

I’m very unsure whether I should pick Arabic A level or criminology in college. I have currently settled on Law A level and Business A level which is why I wanted to pick criminology as it would help me a lot with law. However I would say I’m fluent in Arabic and got a grade 9 for GCSEs so it might be an easier A level for me to pick. However I just would like to have advice on what would benefit me more and what would be easier for me to pick

Criminology is not an A-level which may hinder an application to universities as some don't like the fact that it isn't an A-level. A language when applying to law can also make you look like a better candidate, but at the end of the day the decision is up to you.

As stared Criminology is not an A-level and is in fact strongly discouraged by some universities. Arabic as an language subject is well regarded and wouldn't really disadvantage you in the vast majority of cases.
