Its a waste of time.
Its not an A level, or 'the same as an A level' - whatever your school tires to tell you.
Its full of daft True Crime nonsense and precious little social theory, which is why some top Unis will not accept it.
Do an A level in Sociology instead - at least that has some academic credibility.

I really wish I could do sociology but it doesn't work on my school timetable my options are criminology or geography
