CRJUS2474 Policing in Practice
Students study theoretical and practical aspects of the role and functions of policing in a democratic society. ¿Policing¿ in this unit is used in the generic sense: not just the work of operational police officers but also the monitoring, surveillance and control performed by private security and various regulatory agencies. Students will gain awareness and appreciation of a variety of contemporary policing challenges, practices and controversies in local and international 21st century contexts. Police powers, police culture, police use of force, community policing, intelligence-led policing, public order policing, policing diversity, plural policing, private policing, the impact of technology on policing, policing cybercrime, forensics and crime mapping will all be explored and investigated.
