• ASC212 Criminological Theory: Content and Application

  This module provides students with an understanding of criminology as a theoretical, conceptual and applied discipline. Therefore, the module analyses criminological theories of crime and deviance, and explores the application of the theories in real life cases. The module builds on level 4 understandings of competing theories and perspectives to provide students with deeper a knowledge of Criminology from a theoretical and conceptual perspective. It is delivered through interactive sessions that give students the opportunity to evaluate the extent to which each of the theories applies in real life cases. Students are guided through the processes of applying each theory to topical and sometimes contentious crimes, acts of deviance, and punishments.

• ASC338 The Voluntary Sector and Social Justice

  Interventions aimed at reducing offending in England and Wales are increasingly being delivered by non-governmental organisations (third sector). This module provides students with a critical knowledge and understanding of the role of the third sector within the Criminal Justice System of England and Wales. The module also enables students to understand and reflect on the skills necessary to design and manage a voluntary or non-profit organisation.

• ASCM43 Dissertation ( Applied Criminal Justice and Criminology)

  Students will write a dissertation on a criminological topic of their own choice.

• ASP356 The Family and Children: Ethics and Policy

  This module critically explores why the family and children matter to social policy, through an analysis of various contexts in which relevant issues arise, and of the implications of how they have been tackled in recent policy across a range of policy spheres in Wales, the UK and beyond. Throughout, there is a focus on questions of ethics and social justice. Thus it addresses why families, parenting and the interests of children raise pressing and challenging questions concerning rights, responsibilities and the nature of well-being ¿ and provides critical tools with which to assess how these questions have been answered in social policy.

• SSAM00 Understanding Gender and Power: Theory and Praxis

  This module provides the foundations for critically engaging with a range of theoretical and conceptual approaches to violence from an explicitly feminist perspective and using these to illuminate community praxis. We will explore macro and micro theories on power, participation, gender and sexual identity through an intersectional lens to understand how gendered violence and harms differentially affect gendered bodies and lives. We will consider the connections between different modalities of violence ¿ structural, symbolic, normative, linguistic, aesthetic and direct ¿ and how these operate in different institutional, social, and cultural contexts e.g., in visual culture. You will participate in activities that enable us to critically engage with theory and use this knowledge to explore policy and practice discourses aimed at promoting social justice in an increasingly precarious global context. You will also develop a nuanced and detailed understanding of socio-cultural, historical and political debates on gender, power and violence at a local and global level. This will enable you to increase your knowledge of analytical and practical tools and be transformative when designing future theory-led applications that shape social change.

• SSAM02 Gendered Violence and Harms: Issues, Research and Policy

  Using an intersectional framework, this module will introduce you to the historical construction of gendered violence and the various contemporary forms of gender-based violence, their prevalence, and impacts and consequences. It will focus on the current empirical evidence base and conceptual frameworks relating to different forms of GBV, including emergent online forms such as Tech-Facilitated Sexual Violence (TFSV ¿ e.g., revenge porn, deepfakes and cyberflashing) and extreme misogyny. You will explore different forms of Gender Based Violence and key issues related to each, such as Domestic Violence and Abuse (including coercive control), sexual violence, so-called honour-based violence and abuse, forced marriage, female genital mutilation, human trafficking, and femicide and the potential issues and barriers to support and justice. You will directly engage with empirical work examining GBV in social and cultural contexts, such as sport, schools and universities, and the nighttime economy, and critically assess current legislative and policy approaches to tackling GBV. You will learn how to synthesise this wealth of evidence in relation to the field of harms in order understand why these forms of gendered harms occur what is working to tackle them.

• SSAM03 Developing and Evaluating Interventions for Gendered Harms

  With a policy and practice focus on `preventing¿ gendered harms, how can we know whether something is `working¿ given the complex factors at play? How do we know where to put our resources, and what new interventions need to be made? This module will introduce you to the complexities of developing and adapting interventions for different forms of Gender-Based Violence . You will learn to `think ecologically¿ to understand the different layers of influence on interventions in this space and develop theory-led responses. You will also be introduced to `realist thinking¿ to help evaluate not just ¿what works¿, but also for whom, in what circumstances and contexts, and how. As part of this module, you will also have the unique opportunity to be involved in cutting-edge developments, such as the development of pioneering immersive virtual reality training techniques for professionals responding to trauma within the context of violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual violence, and opportunities to apply your learning to their evaluation. This module will also incorporate `challenge-based learning¿ and enable you to apply your learning and work together with fellow students to design your own intervention and to plan its appropriate evaluation.

• SSCM00 Developing Criminological Research and Dissertation Preparation

  This module provides students with an understanding of key methodological approaches which are used in the field of Criminology to help them undertake either literature-based or empirical research themselves in partial completion of their dissertation in Applied Criminal Justice and Criminology. A keen focus will be afforded, through this module, to both the conceptual and applied natures of qualitative and quantitative methodologies and how these can be utilised to address specific types of research questions. In preparation for ASCM43 Dissertation module which is undertaken in TB3, this module prepares students for their proposed research dissertations, enabling them to plan their proposed methods in detail and obtain support in their dissertation planning.
