Product Information

The Napier Press books have been absolutely key in getting the Criminology Applied Diploma set up at our college. Without the clear guidance through the topic areas and controlled assessment and exam pointers, the start-up of the course would have been much more difficult. The course has been a great success and we now have ten groups in Y12 and six in Y13, totalling over 360 students.

The online student workbooks and activities are excellent for flipped learning. This has been particularly useful for remote learning – students reading and answering questions prior to delivery creates a deeper level of understanding. They can also be used to consolidate knowledge after delivery. At our college we use a ‘teach, task, test’ approach, so the online activities are fantastic for the task element and really help embed the knowledge. Our OU Study mobile app will operate on all current, supported versions of Android and iOS. It’s not available on Kindle.

Due to the nature of exploring criminal harms and state violence, you may find a number of the topics discussed in this module difficult and challenging.

The licence then permits a specified number of students to access the eBook during a given period, usually for the duration of their course, e.g. one or two years.

The books, alongside the scheme of work, take a lot of the pressure and time consumption off planning. This along with the student workbooks gives teachers more time to produce their own resources to fit with what has already usefully been provided by the authors. This is particularly useful if a teacher is new to the subject! If you have any doubt about the suitability of the module, please speak to an adviser. Preparatory work
