LEVEL 3 DIPLOMA IN CRIMINOLOGY VOCATIONAL COURSE COURSE OUTLINE Not all types of crime are alike. Criminology is the study of the reasons why individuals commit crime. By understanding why a person commits a crime, we can develop ways to control crime or rehabilitate the criminal. This course will enable you to use theories of criminality to analyse criminal situations and suggest ways of reducing crime. You will also develop the knowledge and skills to research policy in practice, assess campaigns for changes in awareness and examine information to review verdicts in criminal cases. ENTRY REQUIREMENTS 5 GCSEs at Grade 4 or above including GCSE English COURSE CONTENT Level 3 Certificate Course (Year 12) Unit 1: Changing Awareness of Crime You will explore how crime reporting affects the public perception of crime and criminals. You will then go on to study how campaigns are used to bring about change and plan a campaign of your own. Controlled assessment units are internally marked but externally moderated. Unit 2: Criminological Theories You will discover and assess psychological and sociological theories that have been put forward to explain why crime occurs. You will also explore how these theories influence crime control policies. Level 3 Diploma Course (Year 13) Unit 3: Crime Scene to Courtroom You will gain an understanding of the process of criminal investigations and then go on to learn about the prosecution of suspects and be able to review criminal cases. Controlled assessment units are internally marked but externally moderated. www.corsham.wilts.sch.uk Unit 4: Crime and Punishment You will study every aspect of the criminal justice system and the types and purposes of punishment in England & Wales.
