The year commonly culminates in preparing for exams to qualify for degree candidacy. The compulsory course (0.5 FCE) is CRI2010H Methodological Issues in Criminology and Sociolegal Studies. Several thinkers have advocated for a more focused emphasis on the developmental and life course processes (Laub, 2006), as well as the situational determinants of crime (Clarke, Wikstrm, Oberwittler, Treiber, and others, 2012; Jones, 2016).
