INTRODUCTION 2008/09 Welcome to the Centre of Criminal Justice Studies. We very much hope that your time with us will be rewarding. We are here to help you get as much out of your studies as possible. You are studying in one of the foremost criminal justice centres in the country and we aim to make you feel part of our community of scholars. The Centre for Criminal Justice Studies holds regular seminars and conferences to which you will be invited and you are encouraged to attend. This handbook is intended to give you guidance on matters relating to your course and answer any questions you may have while you are studying at the Centre for Criminal Justice Studies. They are not exhaustive and you are welcome to ask any member of staff for information or advice. However as a first port of call, we would suggest that you contact your Programme Director Dr Anthea Hucklesby; a.l.hucklesby@leeds.ac.uk or the Postgraduate Tutor Professor Ian Cram; i.g.cram@leeds.ac.uk for academic matters and the Postgraduate Office, Rm 1.07, 20 Lyddon Terrace (lawtpg@leeds.ac.uk) for administrative matters. The handbook is intended as general guidance only and does not alter the University s ordinances and regulations which are of overriding authority. Please read these notes carefully and retain them for future reference. The Taught Students Handbook contains information about many general aspects of the University and your studies. It is available online at: http://www.leeds.ac.uk/studenthandbook. We recommend you read this with care as it covers many matters not dealt with in this departmental handbook and supplements it in other respects. You should also ensure that you read the additional and separate handbook entitled Code of Practice for Assessment. This book provides information on how you will be assessed, extensions, late submission, classification, appeals and mitigation. 1 The Academic Year The academic year comprises of two semesters. Each semester will comprise an 11 week teaching period followed in the case of full time students by a period for completing a dissertation on a topic agreed with a supervisor (part-time students are expected to use both summer periods to complete their dissertation). The semester dates for the academic year 2009-2010 are: Semester 1: Introductory week 21 September 25 September 2009 Teaching 28 September 11 December 2009 Assessment period 11-22 January 2009 Semester 2: Teaching 25 January 19 March 2010 19 April 7 May 2010 Assessment period 17 May 4 th June 2010 Further details are available at http://www.leeds.ac.uk/students/term_dates.htm. The bulk of the work on your dissertation is completed over the summer months (May to August). There is no summer vacation and you are expected to remain in Leeds or be willing to travel to Leeds for supervisions and to access library resources. If this is not possible, you should discuss your plans in advance with your supervisor and the MA programme manager. The submission date is 1 st September 2010. 1 You are deemed to be acquainted with the contents of all three documents and you will not be successful in an appeal based on lack of knowledge which can be found in these documents.

2008/09 THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND CRIMINOLOGY PROGRAMMES Teaching methods Most modules are taught by way of seminars. Often these take place on a weekly or fortnightly basis. Practice will vary between modules but do not expect the seminars to provide a foundation in a subject in the same way as a series of undergraduate lectures: you must work independently at postgraduate level to a much greater extent than at undergraduate level. Some of the subjects may be taught by more formal lectures, but with seminars in addition. For some subjects, especially optional ones, you may be in a class alongside students from other programmes. For your dissertation, you will be assigned a member of staff who will arrange supervision meetings. They will provide support and guidance throughout the research process, help you to develop a research proposal and any research instruments and provide feedback on written work. In addition to the teaching programme, you are strongly encouraged to attend the seminar programme held by the Centre for Criminal Justice Studies. The seminars take place at 5pm on selected Tuesdays throughout the academic year. The dates for Semester 1 are 13 th October and 10 th November. The Centre for Criminal Justice Studies annual lecture which will be given by Peter Neyroud (QPM), Chief Executive, National Policing Improvement Agency. The date will be announced shortly Dr Phil Hadfield co-ordinates the seminar programme. Academic and personal support Dr Anthea Hucklesby is the programme manager for all MA programmes. You will also be allocated a personal tutor. Your personal tutor is a source of both academic and pastoral support. They are responsible for monitoring your progress and helping you to overcome any difficulties which are affecting your academic work. Should you experience any problems which may affect your studies; for example, illness, accommodation difficulties etc, you should contact your personal tutor in the first instance. Personal tutors may also be able to give you advice and information on many other academic and non-academic matters (for example, careers, study skills and so on). If they are unable to help, they can often refer you to appropriate sources of help within the University. The personal tutor may also assist with enquiries about your progress from Central Student Administration, write academic and employment references and speak on your behalf at examination boards. During the course of your studies you will meet different members of staff. Students are always welcome to approach any member of staff who they think may be able to help them. For example, if you are considering applying for a PhD, you should talk to a member of the course team about your plans. Module convenors are the best people to approach if you have specific queries about a module. Page 3

2008/09 THE SYLLABUS AND ASSESSMENT Programme aims The MA programmes draw upon a range of disciplines including Law, Sociology and Social Policy. They combine the study of criminological explanations of crime with the study of the nature, role, delivery and outcomes of criminal justice policies and processes as well as providing the knowledge and skills to undertake rigorous criminological research. Within this framework, our broad aims are as follows: to provide a conducive atmosphere for postgraduate study within the context of a research-based institution; to facilitate rigorous understanding of and discussion about explanations of crime and the nature, role, theoretical and ideological underpinnings, delivery and outcomes of criminal justice policies and processes; to acquaint students with relevant bodies of established knowledge and the latest research findings, and develop an awareness of the interconnections between theory, research, policy and practice; to develop students critical awareness of research methods and techniques and their theoretical underpinnings; and to develop students ability to translate awareness and understanding of social science research methods and techniques into practice. It is essential, therefore, that you have an understanding of theoretical perspectives, current policy debates, the processes by which criminal justice is delivered and research techniques by which theories can be tested, processes measured and policies evaluated. Accordingly, we have adopted a core of compulsory subjects for each of the five MA programmes. These core modules provide the foundation of the student learning experience, which can then be built upon by way of optional subjects. These options reflect staff expertise and allow for a deeper understanding of specific areas of covered in core modules (except for those undertaking the MA in Criminological Research for which there are no options). All MA programmes culminate in a dissertation, which is designed to build up specialist knowledge and to exercise newly acquired research skills. On successful completion of the programme students should be able to: demonstrate advanced knowledge in the fields of criminal justice and/or criminology; integrate multi-disciplinary approaches to the study of criminology and criminal justice; understand different research methods and their applications appropriate to the field which may serve (i) as a basis for specific research projects or (ii) to enhance understanding of existing research findings; demonstrate applied research skills through completing a dissertation; display personal skills, especially presentational, debating and group work skills, and exhibit transferable skills, including IT based ones, that will lead to professional and vocational advancement.

Studying at a postgraduate level 2008/09 Most of you will have a first degree of some kind. The skills and competencies you are seeking to develop are described above. Broadly speaking, the following differences might be noted between the postgraduate and undergraduate experience. First, the pass mark for each module is higher at 50 per cent. Second, in each module you will be required to do a substantial quantity of assessed coursework and almost all modules are assessed only through coursework. This reflects our desire to develop and test skills in relation to research, reasoning, writing, presentation and group work to a much greater extent than is common with undergraduate degrees. Third, those taking the MA programme will have to complete a 60 credit dissertation of 15,000 words. This is not meant to be the equivalent of an original PhD thesis in terms of the standard of work expected, but clearly it demands many of the skills required of a research student. Assessed work All assessed work must be word processed. We expect your assessments to be presented in an appropriate academic manner with accurate referencing in the main body of the assessment. Please see the instructions which accompany your essay questions for further information. Most criminology and criminal justice texts and journals use the Harvard referencing system and the majority of the staff who teach you will use this system in their own work. You are not obliged to use the Harvard system and are welcome to use the system you are familiar with. Take care not to mix referencing systems. Further information about referencing can be found on the library webpages: http://www.leeds.ac.uk/library/training/materials.htm#referencing. Page 5

Modules 2008/09 Details of modules which are core to at least one of the MA programmes are provided below. For further information about optional modules, please look at the postgraduate module catalogue on Campusweb - http://www.leeds.ac.uk/students/tpmodules/law.htm LAW5010M Criminal Justice Processes (30M Credits - Semester 1: Compulsory for MA Criminal Justice Studies; MA in Criminal Justice Studies and Policing): Aims to demonstrate to the student the complex and dynamic nature of criminal justice processes and the relationships that can exist between them. More specifically the Criminal Justice Processes module will enable students to understand the problematic nature of criminal justice, the differential impact of the criminal justice process on specific social groups, the criminal justice processes which make up the criminal justice system and the rights and experiences of individuals caught within specific criminal justice processes. Teaching is seminar based Assessment is by two assignments (at 4,500 words each + reflective abstract) LAW5020M Criminal Justice Research Methods (30M Credits - Semesters 1and 2: Compulsory for all MA courses): Aims to provide students with an understanding of the research methods and skills necessary for conducting empirical research within the fields of criminal justice studies and criminology. The module will provide a supportive and developmental environment that will enable students to understand and make appropriate choices between different research strategies. The modules will also encourage students to develop acceptable methods of presentation and will facilitate the development of research skills students need to carry out their dissertation. Teaching is seminar based. Assessment is by three assignments of 3,000 words. LAW5030M Criminal Justice Policies, Perspectives and Research (30M Credits - Semester 1: Compulsory for MA Criminology, MA Criminal Justice Studies and MA in Criminological Research): Aims to offers a broad disciplinary engagement with the development of criminal justice policies at a local, national and global level. It draws in particular on sociological, social policy and socio-legal perspectives. The main thrust of the module is investigating the complex inter-relationships between theory, policy and practice in the field of criminal justice. Students are encouraged to evaluate different sources of knowledge about crime ranging from lay knowledge through to crime statistics and empirical research studies. Particular attention will be paid to the role of academic research in shaping and evaluating criminal justice policies. They will be expected to reflect upon whether criminological research carried out in other jurisdictions can inform policy developments in England and Wales. Teaching is seminar based. Page 15

2008/09 Assessment is by two assignments of 5,000 words. LAW5110M Policing 1: The nature of contemporary policing (15M Credits - Semester 1: Compulsory for MA Criminal Justice Studies and Policing): Explores the police in England and Wales, with special reference to their legal, political, social and cultural implications. It enables students to develop analytical, research and communications skills with reference to policing issues. The module looks at the historical development of the police in the UK, since their inception in 1829, exploring the organisational structure, and delivery styles of contemporary policing. It then proceeds to explore the specific nature of operational policing, police powers and their use in practice, emphasising the crucial function of discretion in the way policing is enacted on the streets as well as rehearsing debates over the role of culture in shaping police discretion. Teaching is lecture and seminar based Assessment is by two written assignments (1 x 4,500 words) LAW5185M Theories of Crime, Justice and Control (30M Credits Semester 1: Compulsory for MA Criminology and MA Criminological Research) Aims to provide students with opportunities to gain a critical understanding of some of the most important social theories that seek to explain trends and developments in crime, justice and control. It considers the insights provided by, and the impact of, theoretical resources drawn from a number of key disciplines across the social sciences in understanding crime and responses to it. Through a number of examples the course explores the manner in which key theoretical ideas, concepts and perspectives: (i) influence policies, practices and claims to knowledge; and (ii) provide insights into contemporary social trends and changes in crime control and criminal justice. Key ideas are studied in terms of their emergence, explanatory value, normative implications and impact. In particular, the course explores the complex relationship between ideas, policy decisions, practical tools and outcomes as derived from research findings. The course will enable students to assess theoretical claims in an informed, critical and reflexive manner and assist students to deploy concepts and assess theoretical claims in their own studies. Teaching is seminar based. Assessment is by two assignments of 4,500 words and a 500 word abstract for each. LAW5210M Policing 2: Police Accountability (15M Credits - Semester 2: Compulsory for MA in Criminal Justice Studies and Policing): Explores the relationships between policing institutions and formal central/local governmental bodies. It also explores the relationships between public policing institutions and private as well as municipal forms of policing. More specifically, this module seeks to explain the centrality of accountability debates within democratic policing. It does so by exploring the issue of police accountability in two distinct ways. First, it considers accountability at the micro level with regard to individual complaints Page 16

2008/09 and civil actions. Second, it explores the meaning of police accountability at a macro or institutional level, looking at the meanings of accountability and legal frameworks, the dynamics of Home Office relations and agendas and formal and informal relations between the police and local communities. Teaching is lecture based and is complemented by seminars. Assessment will be by one 4,500 word essay LAW5145M International Criminal Justice (30M Credits Semesters 1 and 2: Compulsory for MA International and Comparative Criminal Justice) Explores the growing internationalisation of criminal justice by examining the connection between transnational crime, global crime control and international conflicts. In the context of governance the module interrogates the infrastructure and processes that are being developed to regulate global insecurities and criminal harms. It will explore the development of various institutions in response to international crimes and their relation to international human rights and access to justice. It will consider the different paradigms of justice that inform diverse international developments, notably contrasts between retributive and restorative justice. The course will explore tensions and conflicts between nation-state based criminal justice and international norms, processes and procedures for regulating crime. It will assess the extent to which a distinct international criminal justice order is being established, the nature of its jurisprudence and values and its implications. Teaching is seminar based Assessment will be by two 4,500 word essays. Students will also be required to make a seminar presentation. LAW Crime and Justice: comparative and international perspectives (30M Credits Semesters 1 and 2: Compulsory for MA International and Comparative Criminal Justice) Introduces students to comparative perspectives, both cross-national and cross-cultural, on crime and justice. It comprises of three sections. The first covers comparative and international perspectives on crime, the second covers criminal justice and penal systems, and the third covers the impact of globalisation. The module applies both new and existing knowledge and understanding of both global and local dynamics of crime to the contextualization of local and national data; evaluates relevant explanatory criminological concepts, assesses their suitability for comparative and cross-cultural perspectives, and critically reflects upon the problems of comparative perspectives. It advances knowledge and understanding and usage of international and national data sets, and makes critical assessments of the reliability and validity of comparative data in crime and justice; and critically reflects upon a range of materials, including casestudies, data bases, websites and theoretical work, both verbally and in writing Teaching is seminar based Assessment will be by a case study/country report (4,500 words) and a 4,500 word essay. Students will be required to make a seminar presentation. Page 17
