Additional Information:
Lectures will provide the students with information and theories. Students will then explore the theory in more detail and context through facilitated discussion and practically apply the knowledge in their community-based and partnership working and practical scenarios. Students will examine vulnerability and risk and will develop their understanding of strategies to reduce harm for different communities. Students will explore the role of other groups and communities in preventing crime. Students will explore how they can effectively use intelligence packages to support investigation, victim support and offender management.
This module outline must be read in conjunction with the module appendix and mapping spreadsheet which details the National Policing Curriculum content areas, learning outcomes and minimum content relating to each of the module learning outcomes, which can be found on the Module Key Information tab on Canvas.
