Essay: Write a 5,000 word narrative literature review on a problem or issue relating to one of the module topics.
Topic : How is the problem of racial bias address in the crime prevention literature
First read the following chapter to familiarize yourself with what is required to write a narrative literature review:
Wakefield, A. (2018) Undertaking a criminological literature review. Doing criminological research Davies, P., & Francis, P. (Eds). Sage.
If you feel you need to refamiliarize yourself with academic writing style and focus the following sites will be useful:
Resources for academic reading and writing | IOE – Faculty of Education and Society – UCL – University College London
To avoid writing a largely descriiptive, and therefore substandard assignment, you should identify an issue or problem relevant to the topic that will allow you to construct a narrative or core argument that structures your writing. This should be identified by engaging in depth with your chosen literature.
For more in-depth guidance on how to conduct a narrative literature the following site will be useful:
Literature Reviews – Raul Pacheco-Vega, PhD
You should explore the links between theory and method in each article, comparing and contrasting different approaches, and evaluating their appropriateness for their stated purpose.
Referencing
You MUST use Harvard referencing – you will be penalized for not complying with this requirement. As you will be reading, engaging with, and managing a large volume of text as part of this assignment, you may benefit from using a referencing management tool, such as Zotero: access and guidance are available here:
AI
I can spot an AI written or summarized essay a mile away – so just don’t even think about it. This is considered a form of personation, or in some cases fabrication, and is taken very seriously by the University. If you are suspected of AI abetted personation of fabrication you will be failed and referred to the school’s Academic Misconduct Investigating Officer for further action which may end up being recorded on your degree transcriipt. Please find more generic plagiarism policy guidance further down this page.

Marking Criteria
These criteria for the assessment of MA essays and dissertations have been produced to offer guidance to students on the judgements which examiners will make in assessing written work. They should be consulted alongside the University’s Guidance to Candidates.
80 – 100 A mark in this range is indicative of outstanding work. Marks in this range will be awarded for work that exhibits all the attributes of excellent work but has very substantial elements of originality and flair. Marks in this range will indicate that the work is of a publishable academic standard.
70 – 79 A mark in this range is indicative that the work is of an excellent standard for a postgraduate level. The work will exhibit excellent levels of knowledge and understanding comprising all the qualities of good work stated above, with additional elements of originality and flair. The work will demonstrate a range of critical reading that goes well beyond that provided on reading lists. Answers or essays will be fluently written and include independent arguments that demonstrate an awareness of the nuances and assumptions of the question or title. Essays will make excellent use of appropriate, fully referenced, detailed examples. Marks at the upper level of this range will indicate that the work is of near publishable standard.
60 – 69 A mark in this range is indicative of that the work is of a good to very good standard at postgraduate level. Work of this quality shows a good level of knowledge and understanding of relevant course material. It will show evidence of reading a wide diversity of material and of being able to use ideas gleaned from this reading to support and develop arguments. Essay work will exhibit good writing skills with well-organized, accurate footnotes and/or a bibliography that follows the accepted ‘style’ of the subject. Arguments and issues will be illustrated by reference to well documented, detailed and relevant examples. There should be clear evidence of critical engagement with the objects, issues or topics being analysed. Any empirical work will be clearly presented, the results should be correct and any conclusions clearly and accurately expressed.
50 – 59 (PASS) A mark in this range is indicative that the work is of an acceptable to satisfactory standard at postgraduate level. Work of this type will show adequate knowledge and understanding of relevant course material. It will focus on the essay title or question posed and show evidence that relevant basic works of reference have been read and understood. The work will exhibit adequate essay writing and analytical skills. It will be reasonably well presented, but the essay or answer may be weakly structured, cover only a limited range of the relevant material, or have a limited or incomplete argument. Essay work should exhibit satisfactory use of footnotes and/or a bibliography, and in more empirical work it should be possible to follow the logical steps leading to the answer obtained and the conclusions reached, even if there are flaws in the logic. Arguments and issues should be discussed and illustrated by reference to examples, but these may not be fully documented or detailed.
30 – 49 A mark in this range is indicative that the work is below, but at the upper end is approaching, the standard required for a pass mark at postgraduate level. It indicates weak work of an inadequate standard. This will be because either the work is too short, is very poorly organized, or is poorly directed at the essay title or question asked. It will show very limited knowledge or understanding of the relevant course material and display weak writing and/or analytical skills. Essay work will exhibit no clear argument, may have very weak spelling and grammar, inadequate or absent references and/or bibliography, and may contain major factual errors. Empirical work will contain significant errors and incorrect conclusions.
0 – 29 A mark in this range is indicative that the work is far below the standard required for a pass mark at postgraduate level. It indicates that the work is very weak and seriously inadequate. This will be because either the work is far too short, is incoherent in content, or fails to address the essay title or question asked. It will show very little evidence of knowledge or understanding of the relevant module material and may exhibit very weak writing and/or analytical skills.
