International Security Praxis Learning Journal: Crime & Security

This document presents a student's reflective learning journal entries for an International Security Praxis course. The journal entries cover sessions by Liam Vernon on serious organised crime in the UK, including discussions on human trafficking and cyber-attacks, and by Hajara Yusuf on money laundering and corruption, with a focus on Nigeria. The student reflects on how these sessions challenged their assumptions, enhanced their understanding of crime-related issues, and identified areas for further learning, such as crime statistics, legislation, and the role of technology in reducing crime. They also consider how these experiences can improve their learning, thinking, and future work, while relating the content to their course modules and previous readings. The student acknowledges the usefulness of the sessions for exam preparation and future research on organised crime.
