RESEARCH METHODS IN CRIMINOLOGY
Aim and Purpose
As a first introduction to criminological research, this course is
intended to develop students' research and analytic skills. Accordingly,
the emphasis will be on: (i) theory of inquiry, (ii) logic of inquiry,
(iii) the reality of criminological inquiry, (iv) the structure of crim-
inological inquiry, (v) modes of criminological inquiry, and (vi) introduction
to criminological data analysis and reporting. This course is designed to
lead into CRIM 320.
Course Outline
1.
Theory of Inquiry: sources of knowledge; paradigms; explanations;
levels of analysis; theories; elements of theories; criteria for
judging theories; introduction to causality and probability.
2.
The Logic of Inquiry: the scientific model; deductive and inductive
theories; concepts, variables, indicators; hypotheses; testing;
proof and disproof.
3.
The Reality of Criminological Inquiry: relationship between theory
and practice; selecting a problem; data sources, literature evaluation;
• ?
economics of research; ethics; politics of research; use and abuse
of results.
4.
Structure of Criminological Inquiry: translating theory into research;
operationalizatiOfl; sampling; types of design; qualitative and
quantitative information; internal and external validity; advantages
and disadvantages of designs; integrating multiple designs.
5.
Modes of Criminological Inquiry: experimental; evaluation; field; survey;
secondary; legal.
6.
Introduction to Data Analysis and Reporting.
Course Requirements
1.
Lectures: along with instructor, other Criminology faculty will be invited as
guest lecturers for a few selected lectures, describing their own ongoing
and past research. This will illustrate the different methodologies and
introduce students to current research in their discipline.
2.
Tutorials: with exercises from the 'Guided Activities' text as well as
evaluations of (i) criminology theories (e.g. identifying the core
concepts, assumptions, hypotheses, indicators, etc.); (ii) the
methodologies as appropriate or inappropriate to the problem raised
by examples of criminological research; and (iii) the costs and
• ?
gains of various methodologies.
3.
Mid-term exam
/2

RATIONALE: The proposed course in criminological research is designed to
develop research and analytical skills appropriate to criminological
problems. It is designed to overcome the difficulties which
arise from conducting research in an interdisciplinary field.
At present, only one undergraduate research methods course is
offered in the Department of Criminology. It is recognized
by faculty who have taught that course that certain inadequacies
have arisen. First, the existing course is an upper level course
usually taken by students late in their programme. This is far
too late to develop the necessary analytic skills, concepts, and
understanding of the research process for students to benefit
fully from other courses in the Criminology program. Second,
the sheer volume of material for the existing course to cover
places severe constraints on that course. Some material important
to an understanding of the criminological enterprise is omitted.
The necessity for the proposed course to be taught as an integral
part of the Criminology program is twofold. First, because of
Criminology's interdisciplinary nature there is a need to cover
the full range of methodologies available in all the social
science disciplines. Second, these methodologies need to be
integrated and presented as complimentary designs appropriate
to particular levels of inquiry where a number of them may be
necessary for specified criminological problems. One of these
problems, which is peculiar to applied fields, is program evaluation
and program design.
Finally, the Department of Criminology prides itself on producing
highly competitive, professional research criminologists. There
exists a high demand for these graduates and there is some respon-
sibility to meet the needs expressed by the community. The
addition of the proposed course will help to meet these needs.

TERRORISM
Course Description
Terrorism will be examined on a comparative basis in order to under-
stand why it occurs and how criminal justice systems react and/or help bring
it about. The initial concern will be
?
the definition of terrorism.
particularly
in
terms of legal definitions and ideological perspectives.
Terrorism covers a wide variety of violent acts, consequently, it is necessary
to study the various typologies of terrorism and their underlying conceptual
rationales. ?
The second major concern will involve a discussion and analysis
of theories of terrorism. The third focus of the course will involve case
studies of terrorist grups on a comparative basis. While the emphasis will
be on advanced industrial societies, such as Canada, third world countries
at various development stages will also be included.
Course Requirements
I\
seminar format will be employed for the most part. Students will
be required to participate extensively
in
discussions on various theoretical
and empirical issues. Grading will be based on seminar participation
(30%), a term paper (30%) and a final exam (40%).
Students will be required to give oral presentations based on a
case study of a terrorist organization. This presentation will form the
basis for the term paper. Criticisms of the presentation by both the
instructor and the class will then be incorporated into the term paper.

Wehave two of the required texts and the third is now on order.
There are approximately eighty titles specifically on Research
methods in Criminology and closely related areas (e.g. Adminis-
tration of criminal justice, legal research etc.) Many of the
research methods follow those of sociological research and there
- are several hundred monographs in the catalogue under either sociology-
methodology or sociological research.
?
The collection is more than
adequate to support the proposed course.

RATIONALE: In 1978, the Criminology field practicum (CRIM 462-15) was
revised and minors are no longer allowed to enroll in this
course. Due to oversight, the corresponding modification in
the calendar description for CRIM369-4, which is a pre-requisite
for CRIM 462-15,was not made. It is necessary to exclude minors
from CRIM 369-4, due to space limitation which has resulted in
criminology majors being excluded from the course.

RATIONALE: Both of these courses have been taught at the lower division
since the implementation of the Criminology undergraduate program.
On the basis of faculty experience with these courses over the
past few years, it has become apparent that the subject matter
of these courses is much too advanced for introductory level students
and that the courses would more appropriately be taught at the
upper division level..

RATIONALE: The major rationale for making CRIM 131 a four credit course
when it was initially developed was the unusual amount of
descriptive materials that had to be presented in class lecture.
This was necessitated by the fact that no books were available
that could provide a description of the Canadian criminal
justice system (unlike the multitude of books available on the
criminal justice system in the United States). However, there
has recently appeared a text which was specifically written for
use in introductory criminal justice courses (Criminal Justice
in Canada: An Introductory Text) and thus the three hour
lecture is no longer required. In addition, it appears that the
three hour lecture format results in very few non-Criminology
majors taking the course due to scheduling difficulties.

TERRORISM
Course Description
Terrorism will be examined on a comparative basis in order to under-
stand why it occurs and how criminal justice systems react and/or help bring
it about. The initial concern will be
?
the definition of terrorism
particularly in terms of legal definitions and ideological perspectives.
Terrorism covers a wide variety of violent acts, consequently, it is necessary
to study the various typologies of terrorism and their underlying conceptual
rationales. ?
The second major concern will involve a discussion and analysis
of theories of terrorism. The third focus of the course will involve case
studies of terrorist groups on a comparative basis. While the emphasis will
be on advanced industrial societies, such as Canada, third world countries
at various development stages will also be included.
Course Requirements
A seminar format will be employed for the most part. Students will
be required to participate extensively in discussions on various theoretical
and empirical issues. Grading will be based on seminar participation
(30%), a term paper (30%) and a final exam (40%).
Students will be required to give oral presentations based on a
case study of a terrorist organization. This presentation will form the
basis for the term paper.. Criticisms of the presentation by both the
instructor and the class will then be incorporated into the term paper.

the manner in which this course is taught, a change in the
course title and a modification of the calendar description

Criminology 220-3
RESEARCH METHODS IN CRIMINOLOGY
Aim and Purpose
As a first introduction to criminological research, this course is
intended to develop students' research and analytic skills. Accordingly,
the emphasis will be on: (1) theory of inquiry, (ii) logic of inquiry,
(iii) the reality of criminological inquiry, (iv) the structure of crim-
inological inquiry, (v) modes of criminological inquiry, and (vi) introduction
to criminological data analysis and reporting. This course is designed to
lead into CRIM 320.
Course Outline
1.
Theory of Inquiry: sources of knowledge; paradigms; explanations;
levels of analysis; theories; elements of theories; criteria for
judging theories; introduction to causality and probability.
2.
The Logic of Inquiry: the scientific model; deductive and inductive
theories; concepts, variables, indicators; hypotheses; testing;
proof and disproof.
3.
The Reality of Criminological Inquiry: relationship between theory
and practice; selecting a problem; data sources, literature evaluation;
economics of research; ethics; politics of research; use and abuse
of results.
4.
Structure of Criminological Inquiry: translating theory into research;
operationalization; sampling; types of design; qualitative and
quantitative information; internal and external validity; advantages
and disadvantages of designs; integrating multiple designs.
5.
Modes of Criminological Inquiry: experimental; evaluation; field; survey;
secondary; legal.
6.
Introduction to Data Analysis and Reporting.

RATIONALE: The proposed course in criminological research is designed to
develop research and analytical skills appropriate to criminological
problems. It is designed to overcome the difficulties which
arise from conducting research in an interdisciplinary field.
At present, only one undergraduate research methods course is
'.
?
offered in the Department of Criminology. It is recognized
by faculty who have taught that course that certain inadequacies
have arisen. First, the existing course is an upper level course
usually taken by students late in their programme. This is far
too late to develop the necessary analytic skills, concepts, and
understanding of the research process for students to benefit
fully from other courses in the Criminology program. Second,
the sheer volume of material for the existing course to cover
places severe constraints on that course. Some material important
to an understanding of the criminological enterprise is omitted.
The necessity for the proposed course to be taught as an integral
part of the Criminology program is twofold. First, because of
Criminology's interdisciplinary nature there is a need to cover
the full range of methodologies available in all the social
science disciplines. Second, these methodologies need to be
integrated and presented as complimentary designs appropriate
to particular levels of inquiry where a number of them may be
necessary for specified criminological problems. One of these
problems, which is peculiar to applied fields, is program evaluation
and program design.
Finally, the Department of Criminology prides itself on producing
highly competitive, professional research criminologists. There
exists a high demand for these graduates and there is some respon-
sibility to meet the needs expressed by the community. The
addition of the proposed course will help to meet these needs.

Comments:
We have two of the required texts and the third is now on order.
There are approximately eighty titles specifically on Research
methods in Criminology and closely related areas (e.g. Adminis-
tration of criminal justice, legal research etc.) Many of the
research methods follow those of sociological research and there
are several hundred
_monographs in the catalogue under either sociology..- -
methodology or sociological research. The collection is more than
adequate to support the proposed course.

Comments:
We have the single required text. Much of the material is
scattered in the collection but a check of the more obvious
headings such as "Crime and Criminals - Public Opinion";
"Criminal justice, Administration - Citizen Participation" and
"Police - Public Opinion" indicate that our holdings are
adequate to support the proposed course.

Comments:
As this fie1d is of recent development most of the monographs
date
,
from the mid 1970's and have been obtained;:through
our approval plans. The subject is widely covered by
periodical literature and here too our holdings should be
more than adequate.
