The research and the outcomes from the activities are the most likely sources of evidence for

this unit. Assessment evidence may be in the form of assignments, research projects, producing effective notes/reports. Where it is relevant, statistical data should be included to support learner findings. Learners could be asked to make presentations to the group to demonstrate their understanding of selected topics. A number of assessment activities can be used to measure the achievement of the learning outcomes in this unit, research projects into current national and local crime trends, services offered to victims of crime and local crime reduction initiatives. For P1, an outline of current legislation regarding crime and disorder is required. This should not be in-depth but should include information on the key function of the legislation. Learners should include the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003, Crime and Disorder Act 1998, Police Reform Act 2002, Criminal Justice Act 2003 (or their replacements). M1 and D1 are extensions of this grading criterion. For M1, learners should analyse the impact of two pieces of crime and disorder legislation on individuals (including offenders, victims and witnesses), communities and the relevant public services. For D1, learners need to evaluate the impact of a specific piece of crime and disorder legislation. They should look closely at impact at all levels (individual, society, and organisational) and consider whether the legislation had the desired effect. Tutors should agree with learners which crime and disorder legislation they will select for M1 and D1 to ensure the choices support the opportunity to undertake an effective evaluation. If possible different learners should explore different pieces of legislation so comparison and discussion can be made.
