Overview

Police training is changing across England and Wales as a result of a comprehensive workforce transformation programme set out by the College of Policing and the National Police Chiefs’ Council. This transformation is achieved in part through the introduction of the Policing Education Qualifications Framework, which equips new police recruits with the right skills to adapt to the professional complexity of modern day policing including the changing nature of crime and demands on police services. This course introduces students to the skills required to work as a police officer and builds on the Police Foundation Degree. Students will gain knowledge and understanding of policing in a number of areas including: • The context of contemporary policing, police culture, models of policing (including community policing and evidence-based policing). • The development, role, organisation and governance of efforts to reduce and prevent crime and harm, and to ensure personal and public safety and security in different locations. • Crime prevention measures and their effectiveness. • Trends in crime and victimisation; different forms of crime and their social organisation (including organized crime; e-crime, and terrorism). • Different theoretical approaches to the study, analysis and explanation of crime, deviance and victimisation
