Aims
This module aims to ensure students:
- develop a systematic understanding of primary and secondary data relevant to the object of study;
- critically apply method and theory to the data generated by student;
- clearly and coherently articulate their research questions and objectives and explain the findings of the research;
- engage with the supervision process.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Critically evaluate and process primary and secondary data within the context of specified research questions and objectives.
2.
Develop a coherent, systematic, theoretically informed understanding of, and an analytical argument, about the initial problem or hypothesis.
3.
Outline and justify the research questions and objectives and explain the findings of the research.
4.
Evidence engagement with the supervision process
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
The module will allow students to develop a findings, discussion and theory chapter(s) and write an introduction and conclusion. Students will also complete a supervision diary, providing evidence of having seen their dissertation supervisor at least twice in the the semester. This activity will be done in conjunction with an allocated dissertation supervisor who will see the student for a total of 8 hours across the second semester, These meetings will be augmented by a total of 6 lectures and 5 workshops.

Module Overview:
This module intends to develop your ability to critically evaluate and interrogate a body of knowledge in a manner conforming to the tenets of disciplined, lucid and critical scholarship. During the module, you'll be expected to critically apply the literature and method developed in 6200CRIM during your data collection process. You will use the data (quantitative and/or qualitative) obtained from your research project to critically explore the subject of crime, harm, social divisions, and/or social change.

Additional Information:
The module is concerned with ensuring students can build on the foundation developed in Semester 1 and undertake data collection and analysis, a theoretical discussion of their findings, and write introduction and conclusion, completing their dissertation. The module encourages students to generate their own original data on an issue congruent with the themes of the programme and to produce a piece of work which engages critically with theory and method. Therefore, it is designed to enhance the research and analytical skills of students and to encourage them to be proactive, independent learners through constructing a dissertation which either adds to or challenges existing work in their chosen area.
