Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The students should gain an insight into the field of police sociology, but also into the police system in Austria itself. In the context of this, questions of legal philosophy of the legitimacy of police action in the constitutional state are important. A deeper understanding of this is to be conveyed.

Assessment and permitted materials

Participation in discussions, writing a short seminar paper, short presentations

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Active participation in class
Short presentation:Selected chapters of the compulsory literature are to be read in advance and then discussed during the course by and with the students. For each text, a group of people will be selected in advance to give short presentations (incl. criticism/continuing thoughts) of the texts.
Short written paper: Within the framework of a short (approx. 5 A-4 pages) paper, a selected topic is to be dealt with in more detail. Topic assignment and discussion is student-led and will be discussed in more detail in the first unit. Alternatively: oral examination on an area selected by students.
Both requirements must be completed positively in order to receive a positive assessment.
