Criminology and Justice Capstone Project unit helps students to bridge the gap between academic learning and professional work. Students apply the academic knowledge and skills they have acquired during the course to complete a project for an agency within, or related to, the criminal justice system. Students will be mentored by an industry professional and the Unit Coordinator as they complete their project. This experience allows students to develop their employability skills (such as, time-management and collaboration) and career development skills (such as CV writing and creating professional portfolios and digital identities). Students must be in their final semester of study to be eligible to undertake this capstone unit.
Students must be in their last semester of study to be enrolled in CRI3300

Students will engage in learning experiences via ECU’s LMS as well as additional ECU learning technologies
Students are provided with opportunities to use equipment or practice that is standard in industry.
Students are presented with projects that are arranged in consultation with participating Industry Partners. Students will be supervised in their weekly tasks by the Capstone Project Coordinator with input from the agency supervisor, who will provide formal supervision sessions. The Capstone Coordinator will conduct an interim review, in consultation with the student and industry partner agency supervisor, as a means of facilitating formative feedback for the students and the team. Monitoring of student engagement and progress will occur through reflective assessment methods. Online students will attend via ECU's LMS which will be recorded. Teams will require online and on-campus students to work together to familiarise them to working in a global environment. Students will organise peer-to-peer synchronous and asynchronous meetings within their group at mutually agreed times in order to complete their project. Students will develop their teamwork, self-management, initiative and self-reflexive learning skills.

Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work as well as any generative artificial intelligence tools that may have been used. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people or generative artificial intelligence tools, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).
Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).
Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.
Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.
