ASC204 Penology and Punishment

This module aims to equip students with a robust understanding of theoretical explanations of why we punish and the way that punishment is actualised in society ¿ both within the criminal justice system and outside of it. The module examines contemporary approaches to the punishment of crime and `deviance¿, taking account of the history and philosophy of responses to offending and `deviant¿ behaviour, especially within prisons. It considers the purpose of and justification for a range of different forms of punishment in modern society, including the death penalty; incarceration; community orders; and civil injunctions. It also considers prisoner and prison officer experiences in the penal estate and how this has been influenced by the penal crisis. This module critically explores the treatment of different types of offenders, paying particular attention to disadvantaged/marginalised social groups.

ASC335 Organised Crime: Concepts, Patterns, and Responses

Organised crime is a global problem, yet its true nature and activities are often little understood. Traditional conceptualisations of organised crime tend to restrict its definition to particular crime types such as drugs trafficking or counterfeiting and stem from stereotypical organised crime pop-culture figures such as `the Godfather¿. This course is designed to help students gain greater clarity on the nature of organized crime and the various processes of social construction which shape its definition. Hence, over the course of ten weeks, it offers a careful analysis of the existing conceptual landscape of the term "organised crime" and explores the history as well as theoretical perspectives of organised crime. It also discusses various models of organised crime groups, illicit markets, and its infiltration in legal economies, and, finally, the policing and law enforcement responses to organised crime through a national and international lens.
SPC108 Employability and Personal Development

This module introduces students to the skills, qualities and attributes needed in applying for jobs, including how to recognise and make the most of their experiences, reflecting on their learning, knowledge and how to market themselves effectively in all aspects of the application process. It also provides specific information about a number of organisations both inside and external to the criminal justice system which might offer suitable careers.
