Organiser: Dr Gwenda Jones

Mae'r fodiwl yn canolbwyntio ar agweddau a syniadau prif damcaniaethwyr yn yr astudiaeth gyfoes o droseddu, rheolaeth gymdeithasol a dioddefaint. Mae'n cynnwys theoriau'r Bedwaredd Ganrif ar Bymtheg i'r presennol. Gosodir y maes yn ei gyd-destun deallusol a hanesyddol, ag asesir yn feirniadol gwaith y meddylwyr allweddol. Prif bwrpas y fodiwl yw dangos pa mor berthnasol yw syniadau troseddeg i'r astudiaeth o faterion troseddu a chyfiawnder troseddol. Ymhlith y safbwyntiau a thestynau yw'r canlynol: damcaniaethau diwylliannol, niwtralieddio a thechnegau gwadu cyfrifoldeb, safbwyntiau labelu a throseddeg beirniadol. Bydd y fodiwl yn cymryd agwedd ehangach er mwyn gofalu bod myfyrwyr yn gyfarwydd ag ystod eang o egluron gweithgaredd troseddol a dioddefaint.

Mae'r fodiwl yn gyflwyniad blaengar i faes troseddeg yn y Bedwaredd Ganrif ar Bymtheg i'r presennol. Ymdrinir a damcaniaethau cymdeithasegol o drosedd a dioddefaint yn enwedig: damcaniaethau diwylliannol a thechnegau niwtraleiddio; cyflwyniad i droseddeg feirniadol, cyflwyniad i ddioddefoleg; cymhwyso damcaniaethau i broblemau rheolaeth troseddu a phlismona o ddydd i ddydd.

good

Da Bydd dadansoddiad da a soled o theoriau, defnydd o ffynonellau academaidd (ag argymhellir). Ceir defnydd o esiamplau i ddangos theori mewn ymarfer. Mae'r asesiad wedi ei sylfaenu ar ffynonellau academaidd a chyfeiriadu, a dyfynnu pwrpasol.

threshold

Boddhaol Ychydig o ddadansoddiad feirniadol a gyflwynir a cheir defnydd cyfyngiedig o ffynonellau academaidd (yn enwedig yr rhai ag argymhellir). Mae'r gwaith yn orddibynnol ar esiamplau o ddigwyddiadau cyfoes i ddangos theori mewn ymarfer. Bydd yr asesiad wedi sylfaenu ar ychydig o waith academaidd yn unig gan ddibynnu'n ar ffynonellau'r We a pheth cyfieiriadu a dyfyniadau sylfaenol.

excellent

Rhagorol Cyflwyniad a dadansoddiad beirniadol sylweddol a theoriau drafodwyd yn y fodiwl. Defnydd da ag effeithiol (ag argymhellir, ag eraill a ddarganfuwyd). Denfydd o ffynonellau megis cyfnodolion academaidd er mwyn a). dangos theori mewn ymarfer b). cyflwyno gwerthusiad o'r theori. Ceir defnydd o esiamplau cyfoes i ddangos theori mewn ymarfer. Mae'r asesiad wedi ei sylfaenu ar feirniadaeth o waith academaidd a defnydd da o gyfeirniadu a dyfyniadau priodol.

1. Deall canolbwynt damcaniaethau i ddeall y byd troseddol, rheolaeth troseddu a phlismona.

2. Deall bodolaeth dioddefoleg fel maes penodol mewn astudiaethau academaidd.

3. Dangos y gallu i gymhwyso syniadau troseddeg i faterion cyfredol neu feysydd consyrn plismona'n benodol.

4. Dangos ymwybyddiaeth o'r ffyrdd y mae troseddeg a dioddefoleg 20fed Ganrif wedi esblygu a datblygu.

5. Deall damcaniaethau troseddeg allweddol o'r Bedwaredd Ganrif ar Bymtheg i'r presennol.
