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.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $2,124
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $997
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
