No, not for the short answer, please ensure you put this answer in YOUR OWN WORDS, we are not looking for you to pull out quotes or copy lecture slide content, we want you to explain this is your own words, as is stated on the assessment paper

Which theoretical models or perspectives are relevant to the long answer question about prisons?

# data[].attributes.body
YOU are required to look at the available models and perspectives that have been presented and YOU decide which ones you want to apply and use and explain this in your answer.  Obviously some models and perspectives will fit better with the topic.  The teaching materials for that topic should help you with that selection, but overall there is no right answer.

# data[].attributes.body
Absolutely!  I would suggest this is necessary since these policies have been implemented a while ago and changes have occurred since they were introduced.  Go back to the lectures!

# data[].attributes.body
use the citation from the text where you read about it or the website you have accessed it from.

# data[].attributes.body
You can use this...

Home Office.  2021.  Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) code of practice.  Available at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/police-and-criminal-evidence-act-1984-pace-codes-of-practice

# data[].attributes.body
No there is no minimum word count, just a maximum word count of 1800 words.  HOWEVER, due to what is required to adequately answer the essay and conduct the policy analysis, it would be very likely you cannot complete this in less than 1500 words, thus we expect most students will be very close to the 1800 word limit.

How much of the word count for the long answer how much of the word count in the essay question should be policy analysis?

# data[].attributes.body
The long answer question requires you to answer the question using the policy analysis format you were provided with and which is outlined in the assessment tab, thus the long answer is policy analysis.

Referencing for long answer question- If we cite something once and go on to use the source again, do we have to include the in text citation again?

YES, you must cite the literature every time you use it.  so you may have a source cited numerous times within the essay and that is fine and  required.

# data[].attributes.body
Further guidance will be provided as we progress through the module, but the CJ conducting policy analysis worksheet located in the assessment tab (which we will be using within seminars throughout the module delivery) is a good place to start regarding the kind of information you will need to access and acquire.  The long answer/ essay is a traditional essay structure: with an introduction, a main body which discusses the content from the worksheet, a conclusion and a reference list.  You will only have to answer ONE question for this section.

# data[].attributes.body
THE EXAMINATION is MAY 6th - opens at 9:30AM and closes on Friday May 7th so you must submit before that time.

The examination will take place between May 3 - May 15.  The date will be published by the easter break.

# data[].attributes.body
You will have access to the examination for 24 hours, online at home.  However, the examination should not take you more than 2 hours to complete, so you have lots of time to produce and submit your answers.
