This module engages students in thinking critically about the strategic framework of policing. This ranges from considering strategic relationships that enable partnership working in the case of major incidents, to national strategies set by the National Police Chiefs Council, to strategic priorities and planning in operational policing. The emphasis of the module is for students to examine the wider implications of contemporary policing and the political and strategic considerations required.

Indicative content:

-Key national strategies and strategy frameworks for policing

-Constitutional set-up and the role of the police in a democratic society

-The role of the police in joint emergency situations and major incidents

-Case examples of major incidents and lessons learnt

-Community engagement and its strategic importance

-Police effectiveness and challenges ahead

D- to D+

Assessment is based on the degree of engagement with academic literature and student's ability to summarise and critically analyse theory. For a threshold grade, engagement with the academic literature is weak; the student's ability to summarise theory will be mainly descriptive; and there will be little critical analysis and understanding of how theory relates to policing practice.
