Semester 2

Organiser: Dr Gwenda Jones

1. Trafod astudiaethau polisi yng nghyd-destun prosesau cymdeithasol. 2.Ymdrin a pholisiau ac ymarfer gwaith cyfoes yr heddlu ynghyd â’r fframwaith statudol.
2. Trafod y newid yng nghyd-destun polisi cyfiawnder troseddol a’i oblygiadau yn feirniadol. 4.Dadansoddi dadleuon cyfoes sydd yn ymwneud â defnyddio awdurdod a grym, a hawliau dynol.
3. Ymdrin â materion cyfoes sydd yn ymwneud â pholisi ac asesu cyfrifoldeb ac atebolrwydd, cyfle cyfartal, ansawdd a pherfformiad i’r dyfodol.

Amcan pennaf y fodiwl yw trafod ein dealltwriaeth o’r heddlu, ac yn ehangach, eu swyddogaeth mewn cymdeithas gyfoes. Yn y blynyddoedd diweddar, mae’r heddlu fel sefydliad wedi profi newid sylweddol a bydd y pwysau gan y Llywodraeth am ddiwygiadau pellach yn parhau. Ystyriwn polisiau ac ymarfer gwaith cyfoes yr heddlu a’r fframwaith statudol y maent yn gweithredu. Trafodir y newid yng nghyd-destun troseddu a chyfiawnder troseddol: eu prif swyddogaethau, yr heddlu a’r cyfryngau; atal troseddu a gweithio mewn partneriaeth; datblygiadau mewn polisi cyffuriau; yr heddlu, trefn gyhoeddus ac iawnderau dynol; asesu cyfrifoldeb, ansawdd a pherfformiad; cyfle cyfartal a rheoli i’r dyfodol.
