Theses or dissertations are the product of extended independent research by students. They are often required at undergraduate level (e.g. final year Capstone projects), and are nearly always a feature of postgraduate research from Master's through to Ph.D. level. The terms thesis and dissertation are often used interchangeably. In the UK, dissertation tends to be the preferred term at undergraduate and taught postgraduate level, and thesis used for original research at doctoral (Ph.D.) level. Confusingly, in the US, usage of these terms is reversed!
Print books offering guidance on how to write a thesis can be found at LB 2369 on floor 5 of the Albert Sloman Library, you can also search the library catalogue for ebook versions. You might also find these online guides helpful:
Students often need to consult theses for various reasons, including:
- checking the style and presentation of good past dissertations from their department
- not repeating research already undertaken
- using theses on a similar topic to help with the literature search or methodology
Essex Criminology theses can be found in the following locations:
Sociology Study Centre - print copies of dissertations submitted up to 2018 are available in the Sociology Study Centre (5A.307). These are all undergraduate (2.1 and 1st) and Master's dissertations. Submissions from 2018 onwards are available to access digitally, with a request to the Department's Study Support Manager. Please go to the Study Centre Moodle page, where there is further information on the Dissertation Library . For help and advice on finding suitable examples, please email: [email protected]
Albert Sloman Library - the University Library at Colchester holds print copies of all Essex Criminology M.Phil. and Ph.D. dissertations up to 30 September 2016. They are listed in the catalogue, and must be consulted in the Library. To search by department type the keywords: essex thesis sociology
University of Essex Research Repository - contains digitised versions of theses submitted after 30 September 2016. These are also listed in the library catalogue
To search for dissertations from other universities in the UK and beyond , there are a couple of very useful databases:
EThOS offers access to digitised UK doctoral theses
ProQuest Dissertations & Theses lists North American & UK theses (with some coverage of other countries):
- EThOS EThOS is the British Library’s online service that provides access to UK doctoral theses. The database can be searched by anyone, but users need to register to access theses. Many theses are free to download instantly, and digitisation can be requested for those not currently available.
- ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global ProQuest Dissertations and Theses: Global (PQDTGlobal) is the world's most comprehensive collection of full-text dissertations and theses.

It also includes PQDT UK & Ireland content back to the 17th century. Each dissertation published since July 1980 includes a 350-word abstract written by the author. Where available, PQDTGlobal provides 24-page previews of dissertations and theses. more... less... Shibboleth login
Many countries maintain repositories offering open access digitised dissertations . These can be useful to search if you have specific area interests. Useful listings of these repositories by country are maintained by:

Criminology dissertation example: a case study.
Topic: The Criminology of White-Collar Crime: A Case Study of Enron Fraud
White-collar crime, particularly corporate fraud, is a significant problem in many countries, leading to severe economic consequences and public distrust in the financial system. This research paper examines the criminology of white-collar crime, using a case study of corporate fraud as an illustration. The study investigates the causes and consequences of corporate fraud, as well as the legal and regulatory responses to such crimes. Using a qualitative approach, the research draws upon secondary data from academic articles, government reports, and media sources to analyze the Enron scandal as a case study of corporate fraud. The paper concludes that corporate fraud is a complex and multi-faceted phenomenon involving a range of factors, including organisational culture, individual behaviour, regulatory failure, and societal attitudes towards wealth and power.
Primary Aim and Objective
The case study aims to provide an analysis of the Enron scandal as an illustration of the criminology of white-collar crime, examining the causes and consequences of the Enron fraud, including the role of Enron's organizational culture, corporate governance structure and regulatory environment in facilitating the crime. It also seeks to identify the key features of the Enron scandal that make it a case of white gun crime, such as accounting loopholes and special purpose entities to manipulate financial statements, insider trading, and other forms of financial deception. The study also assesses the legal and regulatory responses to the Enron scandal and the criminal prosecutions of executives and evaluates their effectiveness in deterring future white-white crime. The objective of this case study is to provide a comprehensive analysis of White-collar Crime and to inform future efforts to prevent and deter such crimes.
White-collar crime is a subject of extensive research and debate in criminology and related fields. Scholars have examined the causes, consequences, and regulatory responses to white-collar crime, as well as its impact on society and the economy. This literature review provides a summary of the key themes and debates in the field of white-collar crime, focusing on their relevance to the Enron scandal as a case of corporate fraud.
This case study examines the Enron scandal as a case of white-collar crime, drawing on relevant literature, secondary sources, and legal documents. The research uses a qualitative approach to identify key themes and patterns in the data, such as the causes and consequences of the fraud, as well as the legal and regulatory responses to the crime. The analysis is based on a critical criminology perspective, which emphasises the social, economic, and political factors that contribute to the Commission on White-collar Crime. To mitigate the limitations of the available data and the potential biases in the sources consulted, the study draws on multiple sources of data and examines them critically to develop a comprehensive understanding of the Enron scandal and its implications for the Criminology of white.-collar crime.
The Enron scandal highlighted the importance of organisational and structural factors in facilitating white-collar crime, the use of complex financial instruments such as special purpose entities and accounting loopholes, and the economic, social, and political consequences of white.-collar crime. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and increased enforcement efforts, however, have yet to be debated about their effectiveness. The findings of this case study demonstrate the need for a qualitative approach that takes into account the wider economic and political context and the role of these factors in facilitating such crime.
The Enron scandal provides a powerful case study of the criminology of white-collar crime and its implications for society and the economy. The findings of this study highlight the importance of organizational and structural factors in facilitating white-collar crime, as well as the use of complex financial instruments to perpetrate such crime. The Enron scandal also illustrates the significant economic, social, and political consequences of white-collar crime and the need for effective legal and regulatory responses to prevent and deter such crime.
In conclusion, the Enron scandal is a powerful reminder of the importance of understanding white-collar crime and its impact on society and the economy. The lessons learned from this case study can inform efforts to prevent and deter white-collar crime in the future and to hold those responsible for such crime accountable for their actions.

Strong Thesis Statements
A thesis statement clearly identifies the topic being discussed, includes the points discussed in the paper, and is written for a specific audience. Your thesis statement belongs at the end of your first paragraph, also known as your introduction. Use it to generate interest in your topic and encourage your audience to continue reading.
A strong thesis statement covers a well-defined and well-studied area of research, is focused, clear and simple, manageable, consistent with assignment requirements, and of interest to you. Your thesis statement should:
- state the literature review's subject, the focused topic that you are discussing
- state the essay's purpose, either to give your readers information or to persuade your readers to agree with you
- include a focus, your assertion that conveys your point of view
- use specific language, avoiding vague words and generalizations
Developing Your Thesis Statement
A broad topic has literally thousands of articles on it, and you won't be able to adequately cover it in your paper. It will be far easier for you to research and write your paper if you develop a strong, focused thesis statement:
Do some exploratory research on your topic idea, in your course textbook, class notes, and Summon to identify specific issues, arguments, and analytical approaches in your research area and then identify possible relationships between them.
Ask yourself questions about your topic idea. What concepts, issues, or other aspects of this topic interest you? What have people said about it? What gaps, contradictions, or concerns arise as you learn more about it? What relationships are there between different aspects of the topic?
Focus your topic: Use the information from your exploratory research to identify a few of the specific aspects that interest you and then use the questions you had about those to create your focused research question.
Choose a current topic: Your goal is to summarize and evaluate current findings of an area of research. Pick a research topic about which articles are continuing to be published. Avoid defunct or little-known areas of research.
Write about what interests you: Professors want students to write about topics that they care about. If you're interested in the topic, it will be more fun for you to write your paper and probably more fun for your professor to read it, too.
Ask Dr. Barak for feedback on your research question.
Picking Your Topic IS Research
Once you've picked a research topic for your paper, it isn't set in stone. It's just an idea that you will test and develop through exploratory research. This exploratory research may guide you into modifying your original idea for a research topic. Watch this video for more info:

Title: The Impact of the Death Penalty on Crime Rates - Criminology Essay
The death penalty has been a controversial issue for decades, with arguments for and against its use in criminal justice systems around the world. One of the main arguments in favor of the death penalty is that it acts as a deterrent to crime, reducing the incidence of serious offenses such as murder. However, the effectiveness of the death penalty in reducing crime rates has been a topic of debate among criminologists and policymakers. Studies on the impact of the death penalty on crime rates have yielded mixed results. Some research has suggested that the death penalty does act as a deterrent to crime, while other studies have found no significant effect. One potential explanation for these conflicting findings is that the effectiveness of the death penalty may depend on various factors, including the severity and certainty of the punishment, the public's perception of the fairness of the criminal justice system, and the social and economic conditions in the community. One of the challenges in studying the impact of the death penalty on crime rates is the difficulty in isolating its effect from other factors that may influence crime, such as changes in social and economic conditions or shifts in law enforcement strategies. Moreover, the use of the death penalty may vary across states or countries, making it challenging to draw definitive conclusions. Despite these challenges, research on the impact of the death penalty on crime rates remains important, as it can inform policymakers and help guide decisions about the use of capital punishment. In recent years, some states in the United States have abolished the death penalty, citing concerns about its fairness, effectiveness, and cost. Other countries around the world have also moved away from the use of the death penalty in criminal justice. In conclusion, the impact of the death penalty on crime rates remains a complex and contested issue. While some studies suggest that the death penalty may act as a deterrent to crime, the evidence is far from conclusive. Further research is needed to better understand the factors that influence the effectiveness of the death penalty and to inform discussions about its use in criminal justice systems. |

Expository Essays about Criminology
Here is a top example of an expository essay about criminology.
Title: The Role of Social Media in the Spread of Criminal Activity
The use of social media has exploded over the past decade, with billions of people using various platforms to connect with others, share information, and access news and entertainment. However, social media has also been identified as a tool that can be used to spread criminal activity. This essay will explore the role of social media in the spread of criminal activity and the implications of this phenomenon. One way that social media can facilitate criminal activity is through the dissemination of false or misleading information. For example, social media has been used to spread rumors about potential targets of crime, such as stores that are believed to have valuable merchandise or individuals who are perceived to be vulnerable. This can lead to increased criminal activity, as individuals who believe these rumors may attempt to exploit the situation. Another way that social media can contribute to criminal activity is by providing a platform for the planning and coordination of illegal activities. Criminal organizations and individuals may use social media to communicate with each other, share information about their activities, and plan criminal operations. This can make it more difficult for law enforcement agencies to monitor and disrupt criminal activity. Social media can also be used to recruit individuals into criminal organizations or to radicalize them into committing violent acts. Extremist groups have been known to use social media to recruit members and spread their message, which can lead to the radicalization of vulnerable individuals. This can have serious implications for public safety, as radicalized individuals may be more likely to commit acts of terrorism or other violent crimes. In conclusion, social media can play a significant role in the spread of criminal activity. While social media platforms have many positive aspects, it is important to recognize the potential for misuse and take steps to mitigate these risks. This may include increased regulation of social media platforms, greater public education on the risks of social media, and improved collaboration between law enforcement agencies and social media companies. By taking proactive measures, we can work to ensure that social media is used responsibly and safely. |

The Impact of community policing on crime prevention

Persuasive Essays about Criminology
Title: The Need for Criminal Justice Reform in the United States
Community policing is an effective approach to reducing crime rates and improving community safety. This approach to policing involves law enforcement officers working closely with community members to address local crime problems and develop solutions that are tailored to the specific needs of the community. One of the most significant impacts of community policing is its ability to prevent crime. By working together, law enforcement officers and community members can identify potential crime hotspots, develop strategies to address them and create a sense of community ownership and responsibility for preventing crime. Community policing also encourages officers to be proactive and to engage with community members in a positive way, which can help to build trust and foster positive relationships between the police and the community. In addition to preventing crime, community policing can also lead to more effective and efficient law enforcement. When law enforcement officers are working in partnership with the community, they can gather more accurate and timely information about crime trends and potential threats, which can help them to respond more quickly and effectively to crime. Community policing can also help to reduce the workload of law enforcement agencies, as community members are often willing to take on more responsibility for addressing local crime problems. Despite these benefits, some critics argue that community policing is not a silver bullet for reducing crime. They point to the fact that community policing requires significant resources and investment, both in terms of personnel and training. Some also argue that community policing can be difficult to implement in certain communities, particularly those that have experienced historical tensions between law enforcement and community members. However, these challenges should not deter us from embracing the potential benefits of community policing. By working together, law enforcement officers and community members can develop effective strategies for preventing crime and improving community safety. With the right investment and support, community policing has the potential to transform the way we think about crime prevention and law enforcement in our communities. |

Title: A Comparison of the Criminal Justice Systems in the United States and Europe
The criminal justice systems of the United States and Europe have many differences that set them apart. In the United States, the criminal justice system is largely adversarial in nature, with prosecutors and defense attorneys battling it out in court. In contrast, the European system tends to be more inquisitorial, with judges taking a more active role in the proceedings. Additionally, the United States has a much higher incarceration rate than any European country. One major difference between the two systems is the use of juries. In the United States, juries play a crucial role in deciding the outcome of criminal trials. However, in Europe, juries are not always used, and judges may be the sole decision-makers. This difference can impact the way cases are presented and argued, as well as the overall fairness of the trial. Another significant difference is the treatment of defendants. In the United States, defendants are often seen as adversaries to the prosecution, and they may be subjected to harsher treatment as a result. In contrast, European criminal justice systems tend to place a greater emphasis on rehabilitation and reintegration, and defendants are often given more support and resources to help them turn their lives around. One area where the United States and Europe do share some similarities is in the use of technology in criminal investigations. Both systems rely heavily on forensic evidence, DNA analysis, and other cutting-edge technologies to help solve crimes and bring perpetrators to justice. Overall, while the criminal justice systems of the United States and Europe may have some similarities, there are also significant differences that reflect cultural, historical, and legal factors. By understanding these differences, we can gain a greater appreciation for the complexities of the criminal justice system and work towards creating a fairer and more just society. |
