500The details for the case study assessment can be found under the assessment tab on vUWS. But basically, what you need to do is:
- Describe an individual case in detail
- Relate this to broader issues and identify how it relates to AT LEAST ONE term of reference for the final assessment
- Begin to conceptualise the case and issue using relevant theoretical concepts and research
To get started on this you need to first select one of 6 topics which can be found on the case study page. If you are still struggling, there is an example case study on vUWS that was completed by a student last year.

Most obviously, feminist researchers have pioneered studies of the neglected victimisation of women from male violence and the impact of gendered discourses on the criminal justice system. This unit will critically engage with this material and also focus on contemporary accounts of the links between criminal offending and different violent and non-violent masculinities. Lastly, the shifting regulation of different sexualities and their criminalisation will be analysed. 1.2 What is Expected of You Study Load A student is expected to study an hour per credit point a week. For example a 10 credit point Unit would require 10 hours of study per week. This time includes the time spent within classes during lectures, tutorials or practicals. Attendance It is strongly recommended that students attend all scheduled learning activities to support their learning. Online Learning Requirements Unit materials will be made available on the Unit’s vUWS (E-Learning) site (https://vuws.westernsydney.edu.au/).
