How do I produce high quality work that merits a good grade?
Assessment Task:
Develop a case study of 2000 words on a specific type of crime or victimological experience. For your assessment you will choose a particular type of crime such as hate crime domestic violence sexual violence or state crime critically consider victims experiences criminal justice and societal responses awareness and consider possible alternative approaches. The work will be split into three core parts:

• Part 1 will consider the existing literature related to your chosen area of focus developing a coherent synthesis of academic perspectives and victimological debates;
• Part 2 will consider victim orientated existing policy laws criminal justice practitioner interventions responses and public under standing and awareness of your chosen crime;
• Part 3 requires you to develop a creative alternative response to how the experiences of victims of your crime of choice could be improved. Examples could include suggested criminal justice responses policies or awareness campaigns. You should be as detailed and innovative as possible, using existing literature to develop your arguments. This aspect of the assessment in particular requires you to apply your learning and knowledge considering not only what services and provisions currently exist for victims but also how these could be improved. You could create visual materials to evidence and support their ideas. The final report will not have a set format but we will develop your assessments individually and collectively through work shops and assessment focused tutorials.
