In January, the assessment is constituted of a written exam on the subject dispensed which count for 60% of the final note and the assessment of the personal project (thematic file) which intervenes for 40%.
The thematic file consists in proposing, based on a criminological thematic made available in the form of a list at the beginning of the course, a personal angle of analysis(for example, the perception of the author by thefemale victims for the theme « domestic violence "). The next step is to build a file from at least five recent articles (up to 2016), three of which will be in English.
The September assessment is an oral exam on the subject taught and the thematic file.
