INDICATIVE CONTENT Individual (psychological) perspectives on offending behaviour: attachment, beliefs, social learning theory Broader (social, structural, environmental, and / or cultural) perspectives impacting offending behaviour: social justice, masculinities Understanding interventions and effective practice with service users: correctional and strengths based approaches, specific approaches for working with denial and substance use LEARNING, TEACHING AND ASSESSMENT SUMMARY The teaching in all CJL modules contains elements relating to the knowledge, skills and values necessary for successful professional practice. Our approach is to anchor learning in ‘real world’ situations that learners might meet in their own practice and/ or relating generally to criminal justice and penal practices. Teaching therefore emphasises the relevance of using theoretical ideas, concepts and models to understand the penal landscape, the behaviours of individuals and the possibilities for intervention. Students are encouraged to develop as autonomous learners, and to exercise responsibility and choice within modules, particularly in exploring their personal values or experiences, or aspects of their own practice. An initial face to face session will provide students with an overview of the module and the assessment strategy. It will also provide a chance for students to engage in discussion and exercises that will anchor some of the theoretical principles in real world examples. The subsequent online sessions will employ a mixture of written information, exercises to enhance learning and opportunities for reflection. The online learning environment will also be utilised to provide students with access to a range of learning materials, for example, links to relevant television and radio documentaries and online journal and newspaper articles which will form the basis of discussion. The assessment for this module is designed to enable students to demonstrate their engagement with learning and achievement against the specific learning outcomes. Opportunities are provided for learners to gain formative feedback. Summative assessment tasks are supported by developmental tasks and activities throughout the module, so that there is a clear and explicable link between the module teaching and assessment.
