The key focus of this subject is on field research in collaboration with criminal
justice and community agencies in North Queensland. The subject is practice based;
student teams spend most of their time conducting field research and reporting major
research findings to their collaborative agencies and to JCU staff and students. Because
this subject requires that students implement the group research criminology project
they designed in the prerequisite subject CY3011, students are expected to enrol in
it in the year that they complete CY3011.
