CRIM2009/CRIM6009 - Corruption in our world
With the World Bank estimating that globally about $1 trillion per year is paid in bribes, and that this illegality leads to poor economic performance and human rights violations, this course examines the phenomenon of corruption, identifies the contexts within which it flourishes, explores means of measuring it, and analyses the opportunity structure for corruption. The course also focuses on corruption control, and co-operative arrangements which aim to prevent and contain corruption.

CRIM3006 - Crime Prevention: Evaluation Theory and Practice
There are multiple strategies that are implemented by individuals, communities, institutions, and agencies that are designed to target the individual, social, and environmental causes of crime. The prevention of crime is multifaceted and involves theory, scientific evidence, the application of an appropriate framework, intervention, and evaluation. Developing a holistic understanding of crime prevention approaches, including theoretical underpinnings and rationale, is vital in determining the most appropriate and effective prevention strategies. This course will give students an in-depth understanding of crime prevention strategies. This course will investigate six key crime prevention theories; enforcement, situational crime prevention, developmental crime prevention, individual crime prevention, community crime prevention, and economic disruption. Students will be expected to demonstrate critical knowledge of the process of crime prevention, the theoretical frameworks, the application of interventions, and the evaluation of interventions.
