Description
How can research and/or policy analysis be used to influence and change professional practice? In this capstone subject, students undertake a criminology project that focuses on an issue faced by at least one industry partner e.g., the police; community corrections; cyber analysts; intelligence services. Building on the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the Bachelor of Criminology program; students develop and undertake a project with an applied focus led by a Studio Leader. There is a selection of projects offered each year and students work under the supervision of their Studio Leader to prepare a literature review, conduct empirical research and/or policy analysis, and write a report embodying the results of the project. To support the development of the industry project, students must participate in a weekly face to face 3-hour studio session. This subject has a 90% attendance requirement in order for students to qualify for a pass. As this is a capstone subject, only Bachelor of Criminology students in their final session of study will be permitted into the subject.
