• ASC218 Media, Crime & Criminal Justice

  The media is seen as both shaping and reflecting modern culture; it is also the primary public source of information about crime, criminals and criminal justice. This module focuses on some of the key debates surrounding the relationship between media portrayals of crime, and criminal behaviour and criminal justice policy. What impact does the media have on public perceptions and attitudes regarding crime and criminal justice? Or on criminal justice policy-making? Why is crime news reported in the way that it is? Does exposure to violence in the media increase the likelihood of its commission by the viewer? These questions and many others will be addressed as the module explores the portrayal of crime and criminal justice in both factual and fictional formats

• SPC301 Probation and Community Justice: Policy, Practice and Partnerships

  This module critically evaluates the role of Probation Service and the concept of community justice in England and Wales. It explores the development of the service, from `advise, assist and befriend¿ to `assess, protect and change¿ and how it works in partnership in the community, supervising those who have offended. It considers the cultural tensions in models of practice, between desistance and rehabilitation and public protection and control, inviting students to consider how people who offend should be supervised. As part of this module, students will be able to access the Raynor Archive, a limited collection of probation-related documents.
