• ASC208 Research Methods in Criminology

  This module develops knowledge of particular research methods in criminological research and the assumptions about knowledge underpinning them, and provides the opportunity to develop research skills in practice in a pedagogic setting. Students will learn about: ¿ The description, discussion and critical evaluation of quantitative and qualitative research methods employed in criminological research ¿ Experimental methods, questionnaires, interviews, focus groups and other research methods ¿ The ways that research methodologies are applied in practice, by applying research skills practically in a pedagogic setting

• ASC324 Dissertation

  This module will equip students with the skills needed to produce a dissertation of between 8,000 and 10,000 words. A series of 3 compulsory meetings with an allocated dissertation supervisors assists the students to complete this task. The completion of a dissertation is an independent learning activity. This means that there isn¿t a taught aspect to it. However, each student will be allocated a supervisor. Supervision meetings will take the form of four compulsory individual face-to-face meetings between the student and supervisor. Supervisors will also review drafts of elements of the dissertation to a maximum of 4,000 words, which are to be submitted to supervisors at specific points in the academic year. Supervisors will only provide feedback on drafts that are submitted on time. Staff will provide feedback to students within seven working days.

• ASC331 The Criminalisation of Asylum Seekers and Irregular Migrants

  `The criminalisation of asylum seekers and irregular migrants¿ develops a critical exploration of the immigration and asylum system in England and Wales, looking at its roots, its aims and objectives, and its workings in practice. Examining the immigration and asylum system through a criminological lens, it explores its history and its origins, and the factors underpinning patterns of criminalisation. In doing so, the module examines immigration detention, deportation frameworks, the use of destitution and the development of the hostile (now `compliant¿) policy framework. Collectively, the lectures enable students to explore analytically the manner in which criminalisation is mediated by immigration status, and as such, the module develops theoretical and criminological analysis of an area of contemporary concern. At the same time, the module encourages students to develop strategies of reform and social change.

• ASC332 Work, Crime, Punishment

  `Work, crime, punishment¿ provides students with the opportunity to examine innovatively the complex relationships between work, criminalisation and punishment in England and Wales. It brings together historical analysis of such relationships, examining how they have been formed and forged in different contexts, and the institutions and practices through which they have been mediated. It further examines critically the links (and assumed links) between crime and employment, as well as the means through which these relate to criminalisation in contemporary forms. The module examines contexts within which work is criminalised in England and Wales, contexts within which it is mandated and explores in detail the creation of labour forces in conjunction with criminalisation. Collectively, the lectures enable students to develop a nuanced understanding of the relationship between work, crime and punishment, drawing on theoretical discussion and both historical and contemporary debate.
