An overview of the nature of crime in Australia and the different approaches to understanding criminal behaviour. The course seeks to ground students with an understanding of the causes of crime, the major methods for measuring crime, as well as the dominant theoretical perspectives in the field of Criminology.

CRIM1000 provides an overview of the major approaches to understanding criminal behaviour, and how these approaches help us understand and respond to particular crime problems.

During this course we will focus on issues such as:

  • What is criminology?ﾠWhat is crime?
  • How much crime is there in Australia?ﾠWho is at most risk of being a victim of crime? How do we measure crime?
  • What are the major approaches to explaining crime? What can inhibit criminal behaviour? How might crime change over time?
  • How might criminological knowledge impact the prevention of crime and the development of crime and justice policies?

This course is designed to broadly survey how we study criminal behaviour, provide insights into different issues studied in criminology, and prepare you (by introducing foundational concepts) for more advanced study in criminology.

Task description

Due Date: Monday March 31st, 4pm (Week 6) 

Word Count: 1000 words max (+/- 10%) 

Weighting: 30% (30 marks) 

Your annotated bibliography has three goals: (1) to help develop critical thinking about the use of AI-generated texts; (2) to help you identify effective source material (scientific references) for your theory application case study; (3) and to get you to think about whose voices are represented in your references for your essay later in the semester. Good source material leads to effective writing! Information will be provided in your tutorial on what each of these elements mean, how you can go about it, as well as how to evaluate AI-generated texts. 

Two AI-generated Annotated Bibliographies have been provided on Blackboard in the Assessment folder. Choose ONE of these to critique for this assessment and download it to your computer to work on. Then complete steps 1-3 below. The word count applies cumulatively to steps 2 & 3 only. Please note that your tutorial in Week 3 will include a walk-through on how to do this assessment. 

STEP 1: Reply to the comments in the AI-generated Annotated Bibliography Word document regarding the content provided by ChatGPT. Then, use the matrix provided to evaluate the AI-generated output by highlighting/bolding how you think ChatGPT is performing. See exemplar in the Week 3 for how to do this. 

STEP 2: Write a statement that critiques your selected AI-generated Annotated Bibliography and answers the following three questions: 

  1. What are the strengths of the AI-generated annotated bibliography? 
  2. What are the weaknesses of the AI-generated bibliography? 
  3. What is one risk or ethical question raised about using AI-generated articles? 

STEP 3:  

You will need to have selected and watched your movie for your case study essay for Step 3 of this assessment. If you have not done so, go to the Assessment table to check out the approved movie list and how to access those films. Ensure you are clear on what the primary crime/s are in the film. 

Lastly, on your own – without ChatGPT to help you, find a 3rd research article on the same topic that you feel would be useful. Include the following components in the annotation: 

  • Citation in APA 7th 
  • Summary of the article 
  • Reflection on how it would be helpful in learning about the crime that is the focus of your movie.
  • A statement on research inclusivity to help you prepare for your essay later in the semester. A how-to guide to writing this statement can be found in the course material. 
  • An exemplar is available on Blackboard for you to view the suggested style and format for your annotation. 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Translation (MT) are emerging tools that may support students in completing this assessment task. Students may appropriately use AI and/or MT in completing this assessment task. Students must clearly reference any use of AI or MT in each instance. A failure to reference generative AI or MT use may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct.

Why am I assigning this task? 

The annotated bibliography aims to provide you will critical skills around finding good quality, respectable, and legitimate resources to help build your arguments. Secondly, to draw attention to what kind of research, and which voices you might want to include from the scholarly literature to help inform your argument for the final assessment due at the end of the Semester, and to help ensure those voices are diverse and appropriate.

Task description

Due Date: Tuesday June 10th, 4pm (Exam Week)

Word Count: 2000 words (+/- 10%)

Weighting: 40% (40 marks)

You will write a case study report that applies your theory to the crime/criminal behaviour in your film of choice. Your film of choice must come from the list provided in Week 1 of the course. You must consider environmental, legal, and individual factors that might explain the criminal behaviour. Considering these factors should guide you to a theoretical perspective that helps to understand why the chosen character has become a criminal. Your essay must focus on arguing why your theory of choice best explains why the criminal in the film has engaged in criminal behaviour.

Task Description:

1.    Provide a profile of the individual who has engaged in crime.

·        Discuss their demographics (e.g. age, gender, socio-economic status, location, education, family background), the characteristics of their offending behaviour and the history of their offending behaviour.

2.    Outline your chosen theory.

·        You must choose a theory from the list provided. These are the theories we cover in readings and lectures.

·        Explain the central principles of the theory (what does it try to explain about crime?) and briefly examine the literature of the theory that exists in scholarly work.

·        Outline critiques of the theory.

3.    Apply your theory to the individual in the film.

·        Examine and discuss how your selected theory explains the behaviour of the character.

·        Provide examples (observations) from the movie to support your argument.

·        Highlight any deficiencies of the theory – what can it not explain?

Your case study should have an introduction and a conclusion and follow one cohesive argument about how your theory explains the character's behaviour.

You can use the following headings to organise your case study:

  1. Introduction
  2. Character Profile
  3. Theoretical Framework
  4. Theoretical Argument
  5. Conclusion
  6. References (You must use APA 7th referencing style)
  7. AI Usage Statement

Technical Requirements:

Your essay should include at least 7 scholarly, peer-reviewed references. There is no maximum number of references.

Time in tutorials will be used to discuss the ethical uses of AI in the context of academic writing. For this assessment, you can use AI to SUPPORT your writing. How you use it should be captured in the AI statement that must be included as an appendix at the end of your paper. If you fail to include this statement, you will receive a grade of 0 for this assessment.

The reference list and the AI statement are not included in the word count.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Translation (MT) are emerging tools that may support students in completing this assessment task. Students may appropriately use AI and/or MT in completing this assessment task. Students must clearly reference any use of AI or MT in each instance. A failure to reference generative AI or MT use may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct.

Why have I assigned this task?

The field of criminology is about finding ways we can explain why people offend, or why people choose not to offend. The aim is to find explanations that can be applied to different kinds of situations, people, and crimes. This task asked you to take a look at a depiction of crime/criminals and think about how our criminological explanations shed light on understanding their behaviour. This is a critical skill for anyone moving forward to advanced criminology courses.

Hurdle requirements

You must submit an AI usage statement (template provided in tutorial and on Blackboard). Even if you did not use AI to support your writing, you must still submit the AI usage statement. Failure to do so will result in a grade of 0 for this assessment piece.

Submission guidelines

You must submit your assignment electronically by the due time, on the due date.

Your assignment must be submitted via Turnitin on blackboard. To submit your assignment electronically log in to https://learn.uq.edu.au/ultra with your UQ username and password, then click on Course Code>>Assessment>>Assignments, and use the appropriate assignment submission link for each piece of assessment.

Weighting: 30%

Task Description:

In tutorials, your tutorial group as a whole will be working to examine a real-world crime case over the course of 10 weeks. Each week of the tutorial you will be using a different lens to understand, explore and develop a profile who you believe the offender to be.

At the end of each tutorial, you will be asked to write a short blog entry. These entries will require you to respond to a prompt provided in lecture that allows you to think through an aspect of the case using a particular theoretical focus that is linked to your readings and to the lecture.

There is no word limit, but the reflections should be at least 3 paragraphs in length and should demonstrate your familiarity with the content (i.e. you went to the tutorial and participated). Only your tutor and the Course Coordinator will have access to what you write in your blogs - they are not made public for other students to view.

Blog entries must be submitted at the end of the tutorial via the Blog portal in Blackboard. You must attend the class to receive any marks. Information about accessing and using the Blog feature in Blackboard will be provided in both lectures and tutorials.

There are 10 tutorials over the course of the semester. All of them will give you an opportunity to submit a blog post. You only need to complete 5 over the course of the semester. There are no make ups and no extensions.

Each blog entry will be marked on a pass/fail basis.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Translation (MT) are emerging tools that may support students in completing this assessment task. Students may appropriately use AI and/or MT in completing this assessment task. Students must clearly reference any use of AI or MT in each instance. A failure to reference generative AI or MT use may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct. 

Why have I assigned this?

Tutorials in CRIM1000 are designed for you to develop your skills as scholars that have implications for your success beyond this course. Evidence suggests that taking time to reflect on what you learn increases the ability for you to transfer this knowledge and use/reuse it in future courses/employment. Taking time to reflect on what we do each class helps you make these connections and supports your success in this course.
