Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions are integral to this course, allowing learners to apply analytical techniques to real crime data, use crime mapping software, and develop a mock crime prevention strategy. These hands-on exercises reinforce theoretical concepts and build skills in data interpretation and strategic planning.

Practical Activities

• Crime Data Analysis Exercise — Learners work in groups to analyse a provided crime dataset, identify patterns, and produce a hotspot map using Excel or basic GIS tools. (4h)
• Strategy Development Workshop — Using the analysis from the previous exercise, learners draft a crime prevention strategy including objectives, interventions, and performance indicators. (4h)
• Monitoring and Evaluation Planning — Learners design a monitoring and evaluation plan for their strategy, including data collection methods and feedback loops. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.
