Aims

To support students in the design and delivery of their (crime reduction/confidence increase) policing intervention in the community. The module will facilitate students in the assessment and appraisal of tactical options that impact upon the community. The module will develop understanding around the challenges to delivering effective policing in the community. The module will assess how personal resilience and decision-making contributes to success. The module will see students deliver change in the community and focus upon regular evaluation through the capture of evidence.

Additional Information:
Lectures will provide the students with information and theories. Students will explore evidence-based policing in detail and identify ‘what works’ as they prepare and develop a proposal to deliver a collaborative problem-solving approach to a problem identified in their community. Students will then apply their learning as they deliver upon an agreed plan and capture the evidence of impact through the collection of stories, data, and outcomes in a documented analysis of their activities.

This module outline must be read in conjunction with the module appendix and mapping spreadsheet, which details the National Policing Curriculum (NPC) 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.
