1 PROGRAMME SPECIFICATION Master of Science in International and Transnational Policing Awarding institution Teaching institution JACS Code Programme Duration Language of Programme Subject benchmark statement Programme accredited by Description of accreditation Validated target and alternative exit awards Liverpool John Moores University LJMU L311 Full-Time: 1 Year, Part-Time: 2 Years All LJMU programmes are delivered and assessed in English There are no subject benchmarks for police studies but cognisance has been taken of the evolving police professionalization agenda and where applicable the requirements of the College of Policing together with appropriate National Occupational Standards for policing set out by Skills for Justice, the Benchmark Statements for Criminology and other QAA Benchmark Statements when appropriate. Master of Science in International and Transnational Policing Postgraduate Diploma in International and Transnational Policing Postgraduate Certificate in International and Transnational Policing Programme Leader Stephen Moss Educational aims of the programme The overall aim of the programme is to develop the research, problem solving and critical thinking skills of students who are policing, security or criminal justice professionals or who have an interest in these fields. The programme examines the nexus of law, policy and practice and seeks to embed critical engagement with, understanding of, and application of research activity at the core of decision-making in these areas. This will be achieved by developing a student's ability to identify and critique sources of research data; by developing a student's research skills set so that they can advance their ability to design, conduct and deliver good quality research; and is underpinned by the ambition to encourage students to think innovatively and critically about the approaches taken to crime control, community justice and public safety that are embedded in policy and practice. The specific aims are to develop a student s: 1. critical appreciation and understanding of different policing jurisdictions and the agencies that work within them by examining International Legal Instruments and evaluating their strengths and weaknesses while taking account of broader issues such as Human Rights 2. critical appreciation and understanding of organised crime with a particular emphasis on: a. Human Trafficking/Smuggling of Migrants, Drugs, Counterfeiting, Arms, Financial Crime, Intelligence, Policing Borders and Corruption 3. understanding of the key strategies for the policing of conflict/post-conflict zones 4. critical appreciation of terrorism, terrorist groups and counter terrorism measures 5. critical appreciation and understanding of the impact evidence-informed policy has, and continues to have, on practice development within the broad areas of policing and criminal justice policy 6. understanding of the emerging challenges to the delivery of policing policy and practice, to enhance their understanding of the social, cultural and political contexts within which these challenges are developing, and to think critically about the respective roles played by the police, policing organisations and the public in managing crime control and public safety 7. advanced and critical knowledge of key ontological, epistemological and methodological issues that impact upon research into policing and criminal justice practice. The curriculum will allow students to generate a critical appreciation of diverse approaches to conducting research, methods of data collection and analysis to advance their appreciation of the logistical, political and ethical issues related to the operation of good quality social
2 research 8. ability to design, conduct and deliver a research project focused on an area of interest. The programme develops a student s ability to plan and implement an agenda for research, to critically reflect on policy and practice developments that have taken place in the subject area, to document and reflect upon the challenges of conducting such research, and by its conclusion produce critical commentary on how an understanding of practice may meaningfully be developed 9. reflexive awareness to synthesise the knowledge and understanding gained through study to develop their personal practice and identify how their work fits within a policing context and with the wider social world Alternative Exit/ Interim Award Learning Outcomes - Postgraduate Certificate Demonstrate a critical understanding of the complex issues that criminal investigators face when conducting operations in an international or transnational arena Demonstrate a critical appreciation of the influences and drivers of policy and practice change in the area of international or transnational policing Demonstrate a critical understanding of the research designs, methodological choices, and validity of sources of empirical research and good/best practice guidance that seek to analyse and measure the performance of policing, community safety and criminal justice interventions within an international or transnational context Think reflectively and recognise how this practice helps develop personal and professional practice Select effective information collection methods and use the most appropriate analytical tools Communicate effectively in both verbal and written forms Alternative Exit/ Interim Award Learning Outcomes - Postgraduate Diploma Demonstrate a critical understanding of the impact and influence that evidence-informed policy has for research designs, methodological choices, validity of sources of empirical research and good/best practice guidance that seek to analyse and measure the performance of policing, security, community safety and criminal justice interventions within the context of international or transnational policing Be critically aware of current and emerging principles and practices within international and transnational policing contexts Use problem solving skills - show imagination and flexibility in seeking solutions to problems Demonstrate systematic and comprehensive knowledge and understanding of investigation concepts, principles and theories as they apply to international and transnational policing Demonstrate the capacity to work independently and with others to professional standards, and display higher skill levels in the subject area Select effective information collection methods and use the most appropriate analytical tools Target award Learning Outcomes - Master of Science A student successfully completing the programme of study will have acquired subject knowledge and understanding as well as skills and other attributes.

Emphasis is placed on a student s independent investigation and critical application of existing knowledge while presenting ideas, joining discussions or reflecting on their studies. In the latter tutorials, workshops and private enquiry based study are used. The programme incorporates work-based learning in a range of modules which utilise up to date case materials with guest speakers drawn in when relevant and appropriate. methods are specified in each module handbook. Modules will be assessed through coursework/portfolio's (varying lengths). All forms of assessment will require students to demonstrate an advanced level of relevant knowledge and understanding of the stated learning outcomes. Skills and other attributes Intellectual Skills B1. Use problem solving skills - show imagination and flexibility in seeking solutions to problems B2.
