Well-Being Always Comes First

We all go through tough times during the semester, or see our friends struggling. There is lots of help out there. For more information, look at this Canvas page, which has links to various support services in the University and the wider community.

 

Welcome to Critical Studies in Policing!

I am delighted to be working with you over the next 12 weeks. This aim of this paper is to give you an overview of policing in NZ and beyond, both historically, and up to the present day. We will explore lots of things that you may have encountered such as media representations of the police, policing and inequality and new threats such as cybercrime. I will endeavour to make the module as practical and enjoyable as possible.  This paper will give you a good working knowledge which you will be able to slot into the programme of Criminology here at the University of Auckland. 

I have included readings in your handbook, but please keep an eye on Canvas as I will attach more readings (often blogs, YouTube clips or newspaper clips) as we go along.
