PPP133 Law, Policy & Procedure 2 (16)
Abstract
This subject extends earlier work on the social and legislative contexts in which general duties policing occurs. Here, the focus is on more complex policing problems and crimes that confront the general duty officer. It allows students to develop a professional approach to policing in order to discover practical and effective solutions to criminal and social problems. Students will develop an understanding of legislation, police powers and underlying social issues. Particular attention will be paid to: domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, property and drug offences.
Vehicle use on roads poses a significant safety risk to the general community, both other road-users and pedestrians. This subject also examines the police role in reducing this risk and in dealing with the negative consequences of road use. Legislation, specific policing strategies, police/stakeholder relationships and investigation, all in relation to traffic-related matters, are addressed in this subject.This Session 2 subject addresses this learning through introductions to key principles and some extension of these through ongoing application.
