Mae'r modiwl hwn yn adeiladu ar y cyflwyniad i'r system gyfiawnder troseddol yng Nghymru a Lloegr a ddarperir ym Mlwyddyn 1. Bydd yn atgyfnerthu a chynyddu dealltwriaeth myfyrwyr o wahanol fesurau trosedd a sut mae’r prif asiantaethau troseddol yn gweithredu. Adolygir rôl, cyfrifoldebau a lefelau atebolrwydd y prif asiantaethau cyfiawnder troseddol yng nghyd-destun pryderon cyfoes am fathau penodol o droseddau a throseddwyr, megis trosedd seibir, terfysgaeth, trosedd coler wen a throseddau trefniadol. Bydd y modiwl yn canolbwyntio ar hyrwyddo trafodaeth o'r dadleuon mwyaf blaenllaw mewn cyfiawnder troseddol a gwyddor cosb. Mae’r modiwl yn ogystal yn cyflwyno myfyrwyr at werth dadansoddiad cymharol o fewn ymarfer a phrosesau cyfiawnder troseddol. Bydd ffynonellau a ddefnyddir nid yn unig yn deillio o ddisgyblaeth troseddeg a chyfiawnder troseddol, ond hefyd cymdeithaseg, y gyfraith a gwleidyddiaeth.

Mae'r modiwl hwn yn adeiladu ar y cyflwyniad i'r system gyfiawnder troseddol yng Nghymru a Lloegr a ddarperir ym Mlwyddyn 1 sef SCY1004. Bydd yn atgyfnerthu a chynyddu dealltwriaeth myfyrwyr o wahanol fesurau trosedd a sut mae’r prif asiantaethau troseddol yn gweithredu o dan ofynion pryderon cynyddol ar lefel rhyngwladol. Felly, bydd rôl, cyfrifoldebau a lefelau atebolrwydd y prif asiantaethau cyfiawnder troseddol yn cael eu hadolygu yng nghyd-destun pryderon cyfoes am fathau penodol o droseddau a throseddwyr, megis troseddau ieuenctid, terfysgaeth, seiber a throseddau trefniadol. Bydd y modiwl yn canolbwyntio ar hyrwyddo trafodaeth o'r dadleuon mwyaf blaenllaw mewn cyfiawnder troseddol a system gosb. Wrth wneud hynny, mae'r modiwl yn anelu at ddatblygu dealltwriaeth myfyrwyr o ystadegau cyfiawnder troseddol yn ogystal â gwerth dadansoddiad cymharol mewn ymarfer a gweithdrefnau cyfiawnder troseddol.
