• LAAM12 Research Methods and Ethics

  In a world which is both increasingly driven by data and facing the challenges of mis/disinformation, whether specializing in Human Rights, cyber crime/security, terrorism or other global challenges, it is increasingly important to have a sound understanding of what, how and why research is carried out across these topic areas. Policy makers at international and national level, industry, law enforcement and third sector organisations, among others, all need civil society and employees which not only understand the substantive matters they tackle, but also have the skills to think critically about the evidence-base which informs decision making. This module focuses on introducing the skills necessary to effectively research these contemporary issues, and being able to assess, evaluate and communicate the strengths and limitations of different research methods and outputs, in a variety of contexts (e.g., the public, private or third sector economies). The module will seek to develop student understanding of research methods and ethics, enable students to evaluate research outputs. Throughout, it will encourage students to reflect on the application of research findings in developing law and policy in key areas including human rights, cyber crime and terrorism. Through this module, students will be equipped with the necessary critical and analytic skills to design, implement and disseminate the findings of a research project, as well as understand the characteristics of a good research proposal.
