Senate Graduate Studies Committee
Simon Fraser University
Burnaby, B.C.
Dear Sirs:
On December 8th, 1982, the Department of Criminology
received approval in principle from the Senate Committee for
Academic Planning (SCAP) to proceed with the development of
submissions for the revision of its Graduate Program. The
Department of Criminology proposes to revise its Graduate
Program by adding a Ph.D. in Criminology and a Masters
Degree in Criminal Justice Administration to its current offerings.
The submission to SCAP stipulated that these proposed program
changes would be based on a revision of the current M.A.
curriculum. The revised curriculum would rationalize and improve
the offerings in the present program and wouldalso serve as the
core curriculum for the program additions. It was suggested that
the revision of the Criminology Graduate Program could proceed
in three phases:
1.
The revision of the curriculum of the current M.A.
program;
2.
The presentation of a proposal to add a Ph.D.
in Criminology; and,
3.
The presentation of a proposal to add a Masters
Degree in Criminal Justice Administration.
While agreeing with this proposal in principle, it was
determined by SCAP that the curriculum revisions to the current
M.A. program did not, in themselves, constitute a major program
change and would not have to be returned to that Committee for
further review and decision-making. Consequently, the proposal
for curriculum revision has been received and approved by the
faculty of the Department of Criminology and the Graduate Committee
of the Faculty of Interdisciplinary Studies in preparation for submission
tothe Senate Graduate Studies Committee.

The attached submission requests approval for the revision
of the curriculum of the current M.A. program only. Upon approval
of this revised curriculum, the department will proceed to develop
proposals for the implementation of the Ph.D. program in Criminology
and the Masters Degree in Criminal Justice Administration.
Presentiz, candidates for an M.A. in Criminology must
complete a minimum of 21 hours of graduate course work, plus the
completion and defence of an original M.A. thesis. One course
(Research Methods) is required of all candidates. The proposed
revisions provide for both a thesis and non-thesis option available
to candidates and establishes the minimum core course requirements
applying to each option.
Additionally, the current curriculum is organized in such
a way that a background of courses specific to criminology must be
completed by the candidate prior to admission to the graduate program.
This means that candidates who do not have a background in
criminology are required to enter the department on qualifying status
and complete their criminology-specific course work at the under-
graduate level. An effect of the new curriculum proposal is to
eliminate the requirement for "qualifying status" on the part
of those candidates who do not have a specific background. in
criminology. The core curriculum will provide the opportunity for
any cándidate, who meets the criteria for admission, to acquire
S
?
the knowledge base necessary for graduation at the Masters level.
For those whose background is particularly weak in criminology-related
courses, additional course requirements may be imposed above the
minimum requriements established for the program.
The detail of the proposed core curriculum is attached.
However, there are some further introductory comments which should
be made.
The content of the current curriculum has, for the most
part, been retained. In some cases, current courses have been
amalgamated and renumbered. In a few cases, courses of a specialty
nature have been dropped but provision for the offering of •these
courses is retained through the continuation of the Selected Topics
course (Crim.870-3). Additionally, Directed Readings (Crim.871-3)
and M.A. Thesis (Crim.898) have been retained as in the present
curriculum.

June 6. 1983
It is our belief that these curriculum revisions will
rationalize and improve the Graduate Program offerings to the
benefit of both faculty and students. It will reduce the tendency
to schedule course offerings primarily on the basis of student
interest and availability of individual faculty. Core courses
and the elective specialty courses attached to the core will be
organized to assure that the student graduates with a solid
knowledge-base in criminology. A review of over 40 criminology
and criminal justice graduate programs in the western world
suggests that this core curriculum provides a knowledge-base
which is equal or superior in quality to any graduate criminology
program offered on the North American continent. It provides for
an efficiency in administration which will assure that students
have the ability to complete their graduate studies in a timely
and orderly fashion.
Due to the increasing number of students requesting
admission and our desire to implement this new curriculum at the
earliest,possible time we request that the rules regarding notice
be waived to allow for a Fall (1983) start. An entry has been
placed in
,
the University
.
Calendar which notifies students that
the curriculum is under revision and is subject to change.
?
We
therefore submit these curriculum revisions for your consideration
and approval.
Yours sincerely,
Duncan Chappell, Ph.D.

CURR I CULUM REV I EW-GRADUATE PROGRAM, DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINOLOGY
INTRODUCTION
The Department of Criminology requests approval to revise
its graduate curriculum. These revisions are intended to enhance
the quality of the current M.A. program and provide a coherent
curriculum base for the eventual introduction
-
of the Applied
Master's (Master's Degree in Criminal Justice Administration) and
academic Ph.D. programs. The Senate Coninittee for Academic
Planning (SCAP) has given the department approval in principle to
proceed with the development of detailed submissions on these two
new programs.
•
?
?
The department of Criminology, therefore, seeks approval
?
for a curriculum revision to the current M.A. program as outlined
below.
Core-Curriculum Format - Academic M.A.
The department noted that, according to University
regulations:
"Masters candidates are required to complete a minimum
of 30 semester hours work in one of the following ways:
A.
Take a minimum of twelve (12) semester hours of
course work and submit an original thesis.
B.
Take a minimum of twenty (20) semester hours of
course work and submit at least two extended
essays, or a project.
According to the requirments of the program in which he
is enrolled a student may have a choice between these
two alternatives or he may not. A graduate program
•
?
?
comittee may require work in addition to the minimum
?
requirements, either on an individual basis or, with
Senate ratification, for all students in its program."
page 1 of 5
Curriculum Review (continued)
The department has decided to recommend that the revised
graduate curriculum allow students the choice between these two
alternatives. This is seen as a way of providing distinctive
options for persons entering the program from different
"locations" (e.g. students with an undergraduate degree in
Criminology - from our University or from some other university -
and students entering with undergraduate degrees in other
disciplines) and, as well, eliminating the need for some
students to enter the department on"qualifying" status before
being considered for formal admission to the graduate program.
It will also allow an assessment of students in the program to be
made on the basis of acquired knowledge rather than the more
limiting criteria of thesis preparation and completion in all
cases.
It is recommended that, in both options, the course work be
organized to include required core courses and the completion of
specialty courses. Each core area will have one (1) core course
and one (1) or more specialty courses developed. The core
courses (areas) with suggested numbering is as follows:
Criminological Theory (800)
Phenomena of Crime (810)
Criminal Justióe Policy Analysis (820)
Law and Social Control (830)
Research Methods (860)
At least one specialty course has been developed in each of
the five (5) core course categories above and will be designated
by an odd-numbering system. For example, the specialty course
attached to Criminological Theory (800) is numbered Crim.801.
The specialty courses are described as generic courses in order
to include as much latitude as possible for adjustment in the
emphasis placed on. course content and the probable variance in
the interest and expertise of the persons who may teach these
courses from time to time. Specialty courses are as follows:
is

Curriculum Review (continued)
Advanced Criminological Theory (801)
•
?
Ecological or Environmental Criminology (811)
Criminal Justice Planning and Program Evaluation (821)
Law and Social Policy (831)
Techniques of Evaluative Research (861)
Advanced Topics in Criminological Research (862)
Each of the core courses is developed on a readings and
examination model. The specialty courses are. developed on a
seminar/major essay format. The core courses will be worth four
(4) credits with the exception of the research methods course (to
include attention to both research design and statistical
methods) which is five (5) credits. The specialty courses are
assigned a value of three (3) credits.
Minimum requirements for the thesis and non-thesis options
of the M.A. program are established as follows:
Thesis Option
•
?
?
Students accepted into the thesis option are required to
take the research methods core course plus one other core course
and two specialty courseis for a total of fifteen (15) semester
hours of course work. They are required to prepare and defend an
original thesis.
Non-Thesis Option
Students admitted to
.
the non-thesis option are required to
take four (4) core courses including the research methods course
and two (2) specialty courses to complete twenty-thr.ee
.(23)
semester hours of course work. In addition, these students are
required to either prepare and submit two (2) extended essays on
approved subjects or submit a report on an approved project.
These are the minimum requirements in each of the possible
options. Additional course work may be undertaken by the
students or may be required to be taken in individual cases.

Curriculum Review (continued).
Relationship' of Revised M.A. Curriculum to Proposed New Programs
?
40
The core curriculum structure, once approved, will become
part of the curriculum base for the Ph.D. Program and will
provide part of the core course requirements for the Applied
Masters.
Proposed Ph.D. Program
The-,Ph.D. program will be the first of the new program
proposals submitted to Senate for approval. The relationship
between the core-curriculum as developed for the M.A. Program and
the new Ph.D. Program can be illustrated as follows:
For those entering with a Masters Degree in Criminology,
the course requirements for the Ph.D. will include three
specialty courses from the Graduate curriculum, three
Directed Readings courses, and one thesis development
course. Comprehensive examinations will be required in
three of the five core areas plus a dissertation.
For those entering the program with a Masters Degree. in
some other discipline, the course requirements will
include four core courses and three specialty courses
from the Graduate curriculum, three Directed Readings
courses and one thesis development course.
Comprehensive examination and dissertation requirements
will be the same as above.
Applied Masters
Students registered in the Applied Masters Program will be
required to take two courses from the Academic core-curriculum
(820 and 860) plus one additional course chosen from the Academic
stream (core or specialty). Additional required core courses
will be developed for the Applied Masters Program.
page 4 of 5
Curriculum Review (continued)
CONCLUSION
The implementation of these revisions to the current M.A.
curriculum is not contingent on the approval of the Applied
Masters and academic Ph.D. programs. However, once implemented,
they will provide the base for an integrated graduate program
which can eventually include an academic Ph.D. and Applied
Masters.
Attached please find detailed course descriptions for the
proposed core curriculum.

Comparative Overview - Proposed Curriculum revisions -
Criminology Graduate Program
?
is
This statement, provides a-comparison between the present
curriculum for the M.A. (Criminology) degree and the proposed
curriculum.--
The present curriculum requires the completion and
defence of an original thesis. The proposed curriculum provides
for both a thesis and non-thesis option.
The present curriculum provides that students who meet
general admission requirements but whose undergraduate major or
minor has not been in Criminology may be admitted as Qualifying
Students. These students are required to make up deficiencies
through the completion of undergraduate courses as determined
by the Graduate Program Committee.
The proposed curriculum allows for direct entry on
acceptance regardless of background. The new curriculum is
based on a sequence of core courses and specialty courses which
allow any student to acquire the knowledge base necessary for
successful completion of an M.A. (Criminology). Minimum requirements
for both the thesis and non-thesis options have been established.
Additional courses may be required in individual cases depending
on the background and learning objectives of the student.
In the present curriculum, candidates must complete the
following requirements:
1. Take a minimum of twenty-one (21) hours of
graduate coursework consisting of:
a) fifteen (15) hours of coursework in
Criminology, including at least one research
seminar in criminology, with a grade of "B"
or better in all courses; and,
b)
six (6) hours of coursework either in criminology
or another area, as approved by the Graduate Program
Committee. ?
-
2. Satisfactory completion and oral defence of an
original M.A. thesis.
All courses in the present curriculum are seminar courses
valued at three (3) credit hours with the exception of the research
seminars which are valued at five (5) credit hours.
In the proposed curriculum, candidates must complete the

DESCRIPTION:
This course will provide the student with a comprehensive overview of theories in
criminology. Through lectures, readings and examinations, students will be familiarized
with competing levels of understanding vis a vis crime and deviance phenomena.
Materials and format are constructed to accommodate those who have not previously
5 ?
experienced an intensive exposure to these theories. Participants will be reading the
works of original authors, as well as critiques and reformulations of the conventional
theoretical positions. The course will strongly emphasize a "paradigm" approach, by
integrating historical and contemporary theory, and by tracing the impact of ideology,
politics, and social structure on the emergence of criminological thought. Traditional
theories will be analyzed through the lens of current perspectives on crime and justice.
Students will be expected to acuire an understanding, not only of theoretical content,
but also of the dynamics of theory construction more generally. Individual theories will
be addressed as both independent and dependent constructs. At each stage in the course,
theoretical positions will be judged according to their structural validity, elegance,
utility, longevity, synchronicity with social forces and justice policy, as well as their
implications for notions of human nature, reform, punishment and justice. Finally, the
course will explore the potential for theoretical integration, i.e., the construction of
multiple factor theory, taking into account the many levels of criminological
explanation.

DESCRIPTION:
This course is designed to offer the student an intensive exposure to the major
streams of criminological theory. Seminar topics and readings will highlight the
development of thinking about crime as a problem in the sociology of knowledge.
Theoretical "schools" of criminology will be identified, and their contributions will be
analyzed in the context of wider socio-politicial and philosophical trends. Emphasis will
be placed on the relationship between ideas and social forces, as well as the interplay of
theory and practice.
The course will be structured as a series of colloquia. Individual students will be
responsible for specializing in at least one of the subject areas. As well as directing
class discussion in their area of specialization, students will be expected to prepare a
major research paper focussing on one theoretical school. Since this course will
emphasize selective concentration on the part of students, it will be assumed that
participants have already acquired a fundamental background in the elements of
i
scriminological theory.

Law and Social Control
S
DESCRIPTION
This course seeks to understand the complex nature of the relationship that exists
between the state and its citizenry in the instance of criminal law. The creation of rules
of human conduct and the implementation of sanctions for rule-breaking are processes
that can be accessed by a wide range of methodologies. The criminal law and other
modes of social control provide fertile grounds for the evaluation of different theoretical
interpretations of the-role of law-in social order. The -purpose--of -this course-is -- - - - - -
ultimately, to link legal theory with legal practice - to help students develop skills with
which to make a reasoned assessment of the social utility of legal intervention in specific
contexts.

Semester: Fall, 1983
Title: LA WAND SOCIAL CONTROL
?
Instructor: Neil Boyd
DESCRIPTION:
This course will offer students the opportunity to examine the social utility of
legal intervention in the instance of criminal law; the relationship between law and social
order will be discussed and analyzed, with respect to both legal theory and practice. An
understanding of the process of law-making and the social efficacy of specific criminal
sanctions is integral to our discussion of law and other modes of social control.
The intention of the course is to acquaint students with the relationship that
exists between legal theory and legal practice.
The focus of our efforts is thus set on longitudinal studies of law-making and law-
breaking, attempting to comprehend the intentions and consequences of such purposive
social action. A wide range of quantitative and qualitative methodologies will be
accessed, with study of legal practice ultimately accountable to theoretical explanations
of law and social order.
Assessment of Grade
The course will require the completion of a research paper on legal process and
the writing of a final examination, each worth 50% of the final grade.
Course Outline:
The course essentially covers two interdependent areas of study - the processes of
law creation and amendment and an evaluation of the costs and benefits of specific legal
sanctions. In both of the areas of study the intent is to unite legal theory and practice.

beginning graduate student who has minimal undergraduate training in research and
methods. The course will cover basic research design for criminological problems and
basic techniques of statistical analysis. The course will be oriented towards "hands on"
research situations and problem sessions on the computer. The research methods covered
will include experimental design and non-experimental designs more frequently used in
criminology. The statistical techniques covered will include contingency table analysis,
and regression analysis as well as an overview of more advanced techniques.
Assessment of Grade
Grading will be based on a series of projects due approximately every other
week. About half of the projects will be oriented towards research design. The other
half will involve the statistical analysis of a criminological data set.
Hours
The class will meet five hours a week. At least one hour per week will be a help
session.

Lecture Topics
I. design of research projects:
a.
The relation between theory and research
b.
Formulation of researchable problems
?
C.
?
Choosing the appropriate research strategy
d.
Operationalization, sampling, measurement
e.
Limitations of inference
?
Projecti. ?
Three "researchable" problems will be presented. Each member of
the class will be expected to write a short paper where research
strategies are specified, major concepts are operationalized and
sampling and measurement strategies proposed for each of the three
problems. The various strategies will be cross-compared in class.
II. ?
Detailed examination of research strategies (strengths and weaknesses)
a.
Experiments
b.
Surveys
?
C.
?
Observations
?
d. ?
Research using secondary sources.
?
Project 2
?
From a list of problems of criminological interest each member of the
class will be expected to pick one, choose a research strategy to
address the problem and actually carry out a short study. The
problems proposed to the students will be limited in nature and easily
completed in a short period of time. For example, topics might
include a base line descriptive study of jay-walking behaviour in
Gastown and a study of graduate criminology student attitudes
towards cheating on taxes.
Project 3.
?
?
Each student will be expected to take another student's study
?
completed in Project 2 and criticize it.

DESCRIPTION:
This course is designed to follow the beginning course in research methods. It is
designed for the more advanced graduate student and is built on the knowledge base
developed in the introductory course. As with the introductory course this course is a
"hands-on" project/problem oriented course where the student develops conceptual skills
as well as competency in analyzing data.
The course covers both parametric and non-parametric techniques, but -
emphasizes parametric statistical analysis. The course will cover analysis of variance,
regression analysis, and analysis of covariance, discriminant analysis, and other
techniques of interest to the students. The approach will be conceptual and will
emphasize the strengths and limitations of the various statistical techniques in
criminological research.
