This module provides students with an opportunity to learn more about the work of third sector organisations in relation to complex issues of crime and justice in society. Via a 10-week placement as a volunteer with a local voluntary or community organisation, students get to experience first-hand the work these organisations do to support individuals and communities. Through these volunteering placements and through regular workshops involving both academic staff led and peer-based learning, students develop a broader understanding and appreciation of the activities undertaken among these organisations and of their value in relation to issues of crime and justice in society. Students learn about the political and economic context within which this sector exists and operates, and get the opportunity apply and critically evaluate relevant criminological concepts in relation to the work that third sector organisations do in this context.
