| Course description | This module aims to introduce students to a broad view of the varied literature on po-lice and policing, and gives them the opportunity to investigate some aspects of the subject in greater depth. The module requires students to make connections between broad theoretical issues and more limited and tightly defined questions, and to con-nect these also with the relevant findings from empirical research. |
