PSS303 Transnational Crime and Globalisation Group-based Assignment July 2025 Presentation

Question 1

Read the United Nations Convention against Cybercrime 2024. The document is available at https://documents.un.org/doc/undoc/gen/n24/426/74/pdf/n2442674.pdf

The Convention’s nine chapters provide a comprehensive approach to prevent and combat the global problem of cybercrime while including human rights safeguards. The Convention resolves technical and legal challenges by adjusting traditional means and methods of criminal investigations to the information and communication technology environment and by strengthening international cooperation. Please refer to pages 36-37 of the convention for the preventive measures.

Crafting Interview Questions (Individual Component) 

Watch the Crimewatch episode about an internet love scam and money mule offences using the following link.

Assume the role of an investigative police officer tasked with interviewing a victim(s). Design TEN (10) interview questions for the victim(s). These questions should differ from those already asked in the video. After listing your questions, provide a rationale for your overall approach. Justify your choice of questions using relevant academic or theoretical perspectives. The justifications should address the full set of questions collectively, rather than explaining each question individually. The word count for this task is 400–500 words.

Submission

It is strongly recommended that you make an early submission to check the originality report and, if necessary, make amendments to your document for resubmission. Note that the Turnitin report is usually generated immediately after the first submission, however, subsequent reports may take up to one day to generate. Do note that Turnitin will not accept any further submissions AFTER the cut-off time. There is a 12-hour grace period after the cut-off time, which is not an extended deadline but solely meant for solving any technical problems that you may encounter while attempting to make a submission before the cut-off time. Please email Canvas Support immediately (with relevant screenshots and your GBA attached) and follow up with Canvas Support first thing in the morning to ensure that the problem is resolved before the grace period is over.

One late submission is allowed only if no prior submissions were made before the cut-off time. Do note that the Canvas system will automatically deduct penalty marks for every day that your assignment is late. With this automatic deduction, there will be no need to request for extensions from your tutor because your tutor does not have the mandate to over-ride the Canvas system settings. You will need to form your own judgement as to how many marks you are willing to forego for each extra day that you gain to work on your assignment.

Take care to ensure that you upload the correct GBA document to the correct folder of the correct course. Requests to transfer incorrectly uploaded documents to the correct folder will require an official appeal (and an administrative fee).

Backup your assignment at all times. Once you have uploaded your assignment (in Word document format only), retain the Turnitin digital receipt as evidence of a successful submission. View your submission to ensure that the entire document has been uploaded successfully.

Plagiarism and Collusion

The assignment is to be completed on your own. Do not share your notes, draft or final GBA with anyone before the marked GBAs are returned to you.

Avoid plagiarism by giving yourself sufficient time to research and understand the material so that you can write up your assignment in your own words. Quotations should be used sparingly. Simply citing the source of ‘copied’ chunks of text does not excuse it from plagiarism. Do ensure that any paraphrasing is done appropriately, even if you use text from your own work that you have submitted as part of another assignment for the same or another course.

The University takes a very serious view of plagiarism (passing off someone else’s ideas as your own, or recycling of contents from your own earlier marked assignment from the same course or another course) and collusion (submitting an assignment which is the same or very similar to another student’s). Both are very serious academic offences. Please refer to the Student Handbook on the penalties of plagiarism or collusion. You are strongly advised to submit your assignment early, check the plagiarism report yourself, and if needed revise and resubmit your assignment before the submission deadline.
