Module learning outcomes
These are the relevant module learning outcomes that will be met by this assignment. Please take the time to read these carefully, to understand how your work will be assessed.
The intended subject specific learning outcomesOn successfully completing the module students will be able to:1. Understand and explain the nature of the state as an object of criminological inquiry, the definitional processes of labelling state-perpetrated acts as criminal, the scale and type of crimes committed by state agents and agencies, and the dynamics that generate and impede resistance. 2. Apply and analyse contemporary theoretical perspectives on state crime and resistance across a range of contexts and practices.3. Understand and evaluate resistance to state crime in civil society activism and protest, including the potential and limitations of that resistance.
The intended generic learning outcomesOn successfully completing the module students will be able to:1. Demonstrate skills in critical thinking and the practical application of concepts to case studies, drawing on knowledge of contemporary academic debates, current global politics and justice struggles.2. Demonstrate skills in independent research by developing a case study, relying on appropriate evidence and analysing the case study with appropriate theory. 3. Communicate the findings of an independent case study in a creative manner, in an academic poster and presentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The assessment
This assessment is made up of two connected parts: a 2000 word case study and an academic poster. The poster will visually communicate the findings of the case study, bringing the issues to life. Both parts of the assessment are worth 50% of the overall grade and you must pass both to pass the module.
1. Case study – 2000 words (50% overall grade)
\u00a1 This assignment is an independently researched case study of one example of state crime and resistance \u2013 both elements must be addressed and analysed in your chosen example.
\u00a1 Choose your topic. Choose an example that you find interesting and that you can clearly argue as an example of both state crime and resistance.
\u00a1 Make sure that it is an example with sufficient research available to help you understand the case and analyse it. Academic work is best, but human rights reports or reports from research institutions will work well too. You can supplement this with activist websites, news media, memoirs, etc. Be discerning in your use of sources.
\u00a1 In order to offer deep analysis within this limited word count, you may have to focus on analysis of the state crime or analysis of the resistance. Both must be described but you can choose to focus on one in your analysis. Make sure to communicate this decision clearly. (eg. Though the dynamics of state crime and resistance are present in this case, I will focus on the acts of resistance\u2026because\u2026.)
\u00a1 The case study should be both descriptive and analytical. Make sure that you use theoretical tools to analyse your work. Purely descriptive work will not achieve high marks. Draw from the academic work set out in the introductory week, the week focusing on resistance, and\/or the week specific to your topic (eg. genocide, war on terror, torture, etc) to build your analysis of the case study and demonstrate your understanding of state crime and resistance.
\u00a1 Reference your case study in the same way as you would an essay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Structure These are guidelines, with questions posed to help you consider what to include in your description and analysis. You can choose to follow this structure or set out your own. For example, you could choose to first describe both the state crime and resistance, and analyse them together. Where resistance to state crime has generated more state crime \u2013 eg. repression and violence against activists \u2013 the structure will need to be more complex to explain the relationship.
Introduction \u2013 introduce your case study by describing the particular example\/incident of state crime you are analysing and the resistance generated in response. Give the reader some background information to help them understand the context – a sense of the wider political or socio-economic context in which the situation occurred. Set out the structure of the paper and what you will argue.
State crime \u2013 give a detailed account of the state crime in question. What happened? What is the available evidence? What were the consequences? Has there been accountability, or impunity? Analysis – Why should this be labelled a state crime? Is it acknowledged as such (by academics, or human rights groups)? Is the example clearly illegal under national or international law? Or is it deviant activity that is being challenged and censured by civil society? What was the motivation? What theoretical work can be used to understand the perpetration of this state crime?
Resistance \u2013 describe the resistance generated in response to the state crime described. What is its nature? How was it organised? What is the scale of involvement (how many people came together to resist)? Is it local or international? What was the state response? Analysis – What were the dynamics that generated and\/or impeded resistance in this context? Has the resistance been effective? How can we measure effectiveness of resistance (in this context)? What theoretical tools can help to understand the type of resistance examined?
Conclusion \u2013 summarise and reassert your main arguments in the case study. Say what you\u2019ve described and what you\u2019ve argued, and conclude neatly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Academic poster presentation (50% of overall grade)
\u2022 Format: \u2022 The poster can be designed on one slide of a Power Point presentation. It will be submitted online along with the case study (14 April 2022, 2pm) and printed for an exhibition in late April (tbc \u2013 Covid-allowing)
\u2022 This guide is very useful in thinking about how to design your poster and what to include.\u2022 This guide is also useful on how to best use Powerpoint to design your poster. It\u2019s overly technical in places but some great tips and templates to adapt.\u2022 This one is directed at scientists but still has some great (and very detailed!) tips in terms of layout, simplicity and effectiveness.
\u2022 Content:\u2022 The poster aims to visually communicate the content of your independently researched case study. It should include:\u2022 A description of the state crime and resistance and the core points of your analysis \u2022 Academic references \u2013 demonstrate your reading, use Harvard (in-text) style \u2022 A reference list does not need to be provided on the poster \u2013 but should be included in the \u2018notes\u2019 section below the slide.\u2022 Use images \u2013 posters should be visual and engaging \u2022 Consider how you might use graphs, timelines, etc. to tell the story and to illustrate your analysis\u2022 Think about the narrative of the presentation, what your focus and analysis is. Guide the viewer through the poster section by section (eg. using arrows or numbers or another method of demonstrating direction), telling a story
\u2022 Keep it simple!\u2022 Don\u2019t overload the poster with text! Use bullet-points – the detail should be explained in your case study and can be explained in presentation\u2022 Don\u2019t cram too much on the poster. There will be a lot to say and show \u2013 be selective
\u2022 Presentation:\u2022 Covid-allowing, we will have an exhibition of printed posters in a big room on campus. More information will be shared about this soon (including timing, how to print posters, etc). It will be after the assessment deadline, likely in late August.\u2022 Students will be asked to accompany their posters, and interact with visitors to the exhibition (staff and other students), answering any questions and explaining the case study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Again, choose a case study that you\u2019re truly interested in and use this assessment as a way of exploring it in-depth and sharing your research with the class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
