In Chapter 3 ?�Comparing Policing Strategies’ the author examines the policing communication skills required to work with marginalised communities. Communication skills are essential in the implementation of community policing practice.
Using the text and any other relevant research material you are required to address the following points:
1. Identify three (3) Structural Factors that affect marginalised groups. You must define each of the identified structural factors. A definition of what is Structural is provided on P.10.
2. Critically examine the impact of each structural factor on marginalised groups – illustrating your points with relevant examples. i.e. poverty, unemployment, education, public transport, health.
3. Critically examine and explain how each of these factors impact upon policing communication and practice.
To support students in this assessment, a template has been created for students to use in order to respond to and address each of the 3 points above.
STUDENTS MUST SUBMIT THIS ASSESSMENT ON THE PROVIDED TEMPLATE FOR ASSESSMENT 2.
SUBMITTING THIS ASSESSMENT IN A DIFFERENT FORMAT TO THE TEMPLATE WILL RESULT IN A REDUCTION OF MARKS.

Some examples of structural factors that impact upon policing communication and practice: Education, public housing, unemployment, health, public transport.
Marshall, G. (1998) Oxford Dictionary of Sociology, Oxford University Press: Oxford.
p.10 Agency. The term agency is usually juxtaposed to structure and is often no more than a synonym for action, emphasising implicitly the undetermining nature of human action, as opposed to the alleged determinism of structural theories. If it has a wider meaning, it is to draw attention to the psychological and social psychological make up of the actor, and to imply the capacity for willed (voluntary) action.
p.648 Structure. A term loosely applied to any recurring pattern of social behaviour; or, more specifically, to the ordered interrelationships between the different elements of a social system or society. Thus, for example, the different kinships, religious, economic, political, and other institutions of a society may be said to compromise its social structure, as might such components as its norms, values and social roles. However there are no generally agreed meanings and attempts at providing a succinct definition have proved singularly unsuccessful.
