In Criminology lessons, students participate in a range of learning activities as they progress through the course. This may involve discussion, independent and group research, along with classroom quizzes. Students research a range of case studies of crimes in society along with how the criminal justice system operates. As part of the formal assessment, students carry out extensive research, write a detailed report and plan a campaign to raise awareness of crime, developing transferable skills for employment. Students maintain a detailed folder of class resources and notes to prepare them for the different modes of assessment used in this course. In addition, students can visit a Criminology conference and benefit from guest speakers who work in the field of crime and criminal justice.
