Overview

The Module addresses these key areas of study within each area several learning outcomes will be examined:

Digital Policing

1 Describe complex types of internet facilitated crimes and their impact ,

1.1 How criminals engage in complex internet-related crime

1.2 Impact of complex internet-related crime on individuals and businesses

2 Apply appropriate investigative procedures for internet-facilitated crimes ,

2.1 Digital investigative opportunities

2.2 Specialists who may assist in the recovery of digital data or request information from a service provider

2.3 Procedure to be followed when requesting information from a service provider

3 Employ specialist assistance in obtaining information from a specialist or service provider in the recovery of digital data

3.1 Specialists who may assist in the recovery of digital data or request information from a service provider:

• Single Point of Contact (e.g. SPoC in relation to communications data etc.)

• Specialist technicians (e.g. Hi-Tech Crime Unit/Digital Forensic Units etc.)

Assessment Strategy

-threshold -Acceptable work = Grades D+ to D- Very little critical analysis of relevant academic literature, legislation and police procedure Limited use of relevant texts and academic literature (texts suggested in class) Heavy reliance on real world examples and experiences to illustrate theory in practice Limited but accurate use of citation and quotation

-good -Good work = Grades B+ to C- Some critical analysis of relevant academic literature, legislation and police procedure Use of relevant texts and academic literature (texts suggested in class) General use of real world examples and experiences to illustrate theory in practice Accurate use of citation and quotation

-excellent -Excellent work = Grades A* to A- Significant critical analysis of relevant academic literature, legislation and police procedure Use of relevant texts and academic literature (including the texts suggested in class + other students have found through independent study) Where relevant use of real world examples and experiences to illustrate theory in practice Accurate use of citation and quotation
