Studying criminology will not give you an advantage because UK law schools don't care what your undergrad was and they just look at your GPA and LNAT score. If you are good at social studies, then maybe you will do well in criminology. But since you've never studied this subject, it will be better to study something you know you are good at. However, studying criminology or social studies at university may help you with reading comprehension as well as writing and therefore, you will do well in your LNAT which you will have to sit. I think that, if you have the marks, then you should apply directly to law school in the UK. You might need to take the LNAT if you are considering to apply to competitive law schools if you apply directly to law school after high school (and after university). Please consider the financial aspect of this--it will be costly to study in the UK and get a professional degree afterwards. Once you get a LLB, you do not have to go to a Canadian university again to obtain a JD. A LLB is equivalent to a JD, so don't waste your time. If you want to practice law in Canada, just take a small conversion course and then write the bar exam.
