Proposed Title
The Impact of Writing Skills on Academic Performance in Criminal Law Among Second-Year Criminology
Students at BSU Arasof-Nasugbu
Background of the Proposed Topic:
Studying of criminal law involves a lot of writing and the better you write, the more successful you will
be in your education as well as your career where criminal law is concerned. At this level, students are
in a crucial juncture since written exercises and exams test their understanding of legal doctrines and
their level of argumentation Writing skills are essential for clear articulation of complex legal reasoning,
detailed research, and analysis of case law. With the requirement of clear, logical writing becoming
more and more important as students move further. With this background in place, we can examine
how writing skills affect students' comprehension and application of criminal law principles, and
ultimately, their success in the criminology curriculum. The absence of criminal law education in earlier
schooling contributes to this gap, as students lack exposure to fundamental legal concepts before
entering higher education (Rajamanickam et al., 2019). This study advocates for using a case study
method as an effective teaching strategy to enhance critical thinking skills and written skills among
second year criminology students. This approach allows students to engage deeply with real-world
scenarios, fostering analytical skills that are crucial in the field of criminal justice.
General Objectives:
1.An evaluation of the relationship between writing skills and academic performance in a criminal law
course.
2.Understand writing issues for second-year criminology students, and its impact on realisation and the
application of lawful principles.
3.Recommend strategies to embed writing skills in the criminology curriculum to enhance academic
performance.
4.Analyse how having sufficient writing skills contributes to students being able to do research and
legibly structure their arguments when they set them out.
Research Methodology:
This study will use a quantitative research methodology. A survey will be design for former 2nd Year Criminology
Student who took up the subject Law 1. The research will be conducted in the Department of Criminology,
ARASOF-Nasugbu Campus, Batangas State University - The National Engineering University. Statistics will be used
to examine the responses, ways to identify prevalent problems and effective strategies

Proposed Title
The Impact of Practical Training on the Preparedness of Bachelor of Science in Criminology Students of
Batangas State University – TNEU ARASOF Nasugbu Campus for Real-World Law Enforcement
Challenges
Background of the Proposed Topic:
In today’s world, where crime and public safety issues are constantly evolving, the need for well-
prepared law enforcement professionals is more crucial than ever. At Batangas State University – TNEU
ARASOF Nasugbu Campus, the Bachelor of Science in Criminology program is designed to give students
a solid foundation in both theory and practice. However, there’s growing recognition that classroom
learning alone isn’t enough to truly prepare students for the complexities they will face in the field.
Practical training plays a vital role in bridging this gap. It allows students to engage in hands-on
experiences, such as internships, simulations, and field exercises. These opportunities not only help
students apply their academic knowledge but also build their confidence and problem-solving skills in
real-world scenarios. By immersing themselves in actual law enforcement situations, students gain
insights that textbooks alone cannot provide.
This study aims to explore how practical training impacts the preparedness of criminology students at
Batangas State University. By understanding the effects of these hands-on experiences, we can better
assess whether they enhance students' skills and readiness for the challenges they will encounter in
their careers.
As the landscape of crime and justice continues to change, it’s essential for educational institutions,
policymakers, and law enforcement agencies to collaborate and ensure that future professionals are
equipped to meet these challenges head-on. This research seeks to shed light on the importance of
practical training in shaping competent, confident criminologists ready to make a difference in their
communities.
General Objectives:
The study evaluates the effectiveness of practical training for Bachelor of Science in Criminology
students, focusing on skill development and student perceptions. It also investigates challenges and
barriers faced during practical training experiences, aiming to improve the curriculum. The findings will
inform curriculum development and align educational practices with the needs of the law enforcement
sector, ultimately contributing to the overall preparedness of students for real-world law enforcement
careers.
Research Methodology:
An approach to quantitative research will be used in this study. For Batangas State University - TNEU
ARASOF Nasugbu Criminology Students who have already completed On-The-Job Training, a survey will
be created. The research will be conducted in the Department of Criminology of ARASOF-Nasugbu
Campus, Batangas State University - The National Engineering University. Statistics will be used to
examine the responses, ways to identify prevalent problems and effective strategies

Proposed Title:
The Impact of Internship Experience on Career Preparedness as Perceived by Criminology Students
Background of the Proposed Topic:
Internships are increasingly recognized as critical components of higher education, particularly in fields
like criminology where practical experience enhances theoretical knowledge. This study aims to explore
how internship experiences influence the job readiness of criminology students. Criminology students
benefit from internships as they bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world application.
These experiences allow students to develop practical skills, gain insights into the criminal justice
system, and foster professional networks. Given the competitive job market in criminal justice,
understanding the impact of these internships on job preparedness is essential.
The field of criminology encompasses the study of crime, criminal behavior, and the societal responses
to crime. With rapid developments in criminal justice systems and societal needs, there is a growing
emphasis on equipping students with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Internships serve
as a vital link between academic coursework and practical application. For criminology students, these
experiences may include placements in law enforcement agencies, legal firms, community
organizations, or correctional facilities. Such environments not only provide exposure to day-to-day
operations but also allow students to engage in meaningful work that reinforces their learning.
Understanding the impact of internship experiences on career preparedness can inform curriculum
development, career services, and internship programs, ultimately enhancing the employability of
criminology graduates. Beyond technical skills, internships significantly influence students' confidence
levels and self-efficacy regarding their career prospects.
General Objectives:
• To assess the effect or impact of internships on the career preparedness of criminology students.
• To know how the internship affects them academically, physically and to future employment.
• To identify common challenges and limitations faced by criminology students during their internship.
• To evaluate how criminology students perceive the value of their internship experiences in relation to
their career preparedness.
• To collect and develop actionable recommendations for improving internship programs based on
students’ experiences and perceptions.
Research Methodology:
Quantitative research will be used in this study. The respondents are the Criminology Students of
Batangas State University - TNEU ARASOF Nasugbu who have already completed On-The-Job Training, a
survey will be created. The study will be conducted in the Department of Criminology of ARASOF-
Nasugbu Campus, Batangas State University - The National Engineering University. Statistics will be
used to examine the responses, ways to identify prevalent problems and effective strategies.
