You will be assigned to a group in the early weeks of the module. Together, you will produce and deliver a ten-minute presentation on gang violence and the responses to it, as if you were presenting to a group of senior police officers and policy makers.

Your presentation should outline the nature and definition of gang violence in the UK, the extent of the problem and how it’s covered by the media, the police and policy responses to it, whether these responses are effective, and what, if anything, should change in terms of these responses.

Your presentation should be fully referenced and each member of the team should have a hand in preparing and presenting – you may decide as a group how to divide up the tasks.

Following your group presentation, you will submit an individual 1,000 word report to which your presentation should be attached as an appendix (please indicate your contribution to this as part of the appendix). This report should summarise the content of the presentation, referring to slides within it; however, you may go beyond the content of the presentation. Your report should include a full bibliography.

You will be marked on your report and its appendix, not the presentation itself. However, you will only be able to append a presentation to your report that you have taken part in preparing and delivering.

Summary of the Evidence (3rd paragraph)
