This course is organised around key emerging issues in the study of policing, such as police legitimacy, police roles and functions, police behaviour, misconduct and accountability, police use of force, gender issues in policing, police-minority relations, measuring police performance and organisational change and the emergence of new forms of police practices (e.g. third-party, community policing and problem oriented policing). It examines factors that shape the development, organisation and operational practice of modern policing such as police legitimacy and public confidence in the police.
This course is designed to equip students with a better understanding of policing as an institution. We will examine a variety of issues relating to policing, including the role of police in society, police-community relations, the organisation of police,ﾠpolice behaviour and culture, and issues police face in policing diverse communities and complex issues such as cyber crime. The course draws on contemporary Australian and international research and current issues and debates in policing.

Task description
Discussion forum 1 begins: Week 4 Monday 12/08/24, 8.00 am - ends Friday 16/08/24, 5.00 pm.
Students are required to participate in two online discussion forums via Blackboard, focussing on specific issues raised during the course and in the reading material. Students may initiate discussions, ask questions, answer them, or make comments about issues reported in the media relevant to the topic of policing. The course coordinator will help to initiate discussion and post questions in Blackboard to help generate dialogue between students.
Students must participate by logging into the CRIM 2200 Blackboard site and access the Discussion Board under the Assessment content area, which will link them to the relevant discussion forum for each session. Each forum will last 5 days (see assessment schedule for start and end times and days). .
You will be graded on your participation, and it is expected that you actively contribute to the forums by engaging other students, rather than just submitting one answer in response to the question the course coordinator has posted. Each forum will be worth 15%. You will be graded on your overall participation in each session and how often you participate. You will also be assessed on the quality of your contributions, including evidence of preparation and prior reading of the course reading material. Please do not leave it to the last minute to contribute. Those who make an effort to participate throughout the five days will get a better mark than those who make contributions on a single day. The aim is “participation” – to engage with your peers. Discussion is a key learning activity. A number of well-thought-out comments or questions/answers submitted throughout the 5 days will be well regarded. Students will be notified on the initiation of each discussion forum. Make sure you monitor Blackboard announcements. Students, who fail to participate due to illness, will have to complete a deferred written piece of work to get a mark. For guidance the following criteria has been set to help students understand how they will be assessed:
To pass students need to do the following:
- Show evidence of having done some preparation prior to the discussion. This might be shown by referring to the lecture content or reading material and by demonstrating some understanding of concepts raised in the discussion.
- Participate on a regular basis throughout the five days.
- Be willing to engage with other students. This could be shown by responding to other student postings.
- Show evidence of linking concepts and theories to real life situations and case studies. This might be shown by making some comment about an example covered in the media and reflecting on how it relates to course material or the discussion forum topic.
- Provide examples to ground the issue being discussed – e.g. outlining some research evidence that supports your opinion.
- Makes use of additional external material such websites or journal articles.
- Ask questions and offer your viewpoint on a topic and back this up with evidence.
Marking criteria and/or marking rubrics are available in the ‘Assessment’ folder in Blackboard for this course.
AI Use: This assessment task evaluates students' abilities, skills and knowledge without the aid of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Students are advised that the use of AI technologies to develop responses is strictly prohibited and may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct.
Submission guidelines
In the discussion forum in the course Blackboard site.
Deferral or extension
You may be able to apply for an extension.
The maximum extension allowed is 28 days. Extensions are given in multiples of 24 hours.
An extension request without penalty will only be considered under exceptional circumstances as outlined on my.UQ. You must submit the extension request as soon as it becomes evident that an extension is needed, but no later than the assessment item submission due date.
A request for an extension to an assessment due date must be accompanied by supporting documentation corroborating the reason for the request. The student submitting the request is fully responsible for all supporting documentation that is provided with the request and should ensure all documents are authentic.
Extensions on the basis of an approved Student Access Plan (SAP) or an Extension Verification Letter (EVL) can be approved for a maximum period of 7 calendar days. Extensions exceeding this duration or subsequent extensions for a piece of assessment will require additional supporting documentation (e.g., a medical certificate or other supporting evidence listed on my.UQ) and Course Coordinator approval.
When you submit an extension request in the student portal, it is received, read, and actioned by the Social Science Student Administration Team. It does not go to the course coordinator.
Late applications (requests received after the assessment item submission due date) must include evidence of the reasons for the late request, detailing why you were unable to apply for an extension by the due date.
In considering applications for extensions, students may be asked to supply the work they have completed to date on the assessment piece. This is to establish what efforts have already been made to complete the assessment, and whether the proposed work plan is feasible.
Late submissions of extension requests in your final semester of study could delay your graduation by up to one semester.
Work can NOT be accepted if it is more than one week (7 calendar days) late without prior approval.
Late submission
A penalty of 10% of the maximum possible mark will be deducted per 24 hours from time submission is due for up to 7 days. After 7 days, you will receive a mark of 0.
Assignments submitted after the final due date will accrue a late penalty of 10% per calendar day (including weekends and public holidays) of the marks available for the assessment item. Extension requests are not automatically approved. A request for an extension without penalty will only be considered under exceptional circumstances as outlined on my UQ here: https://my.uq.edu.au/information-and-services/manage-my-program/exams-and-assessment/applying-extension.
