| dc.description.abstract | This study investigated crime investigation curriculum: practices and challenges. For the study, a conceptual framework having 8 independent variable and a dependent variable were derived from the review of literatures. The study employed mixed method and both qualitative and quantitative data collection tools were used besides, documents were used as secondary data, the participants for qualitative data were purposively selected. Partly the respondents of the questionnaires were drawn using multistage followed by random sampling and alumni were selected on availability. Accordingly, the data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, FGD, observation as well as documents. The quantitative data were analyzed using mean and percentage to determine individual influences of the independent variables and overall influence of the variables on practice were determined using regression using SPSS version 20. The qualitative data were extracted in alignment with the variables of conceptual framework, and were triangulated with statistical results. The results that CIC practice was influenced by society, technological development, it was also found that it is an adult male dominated strictly disciplined paramilitary authoritarian with poor setup, inadequate facility, low infrastructure and meager resources and negligible research support. The curriculum and the CIC practice seem underdeveloped and lagged behind the demands of the contemporary society with respect to technology. There were setbacks in balancing between theory and practical as well as classroom with outside physical drills. Moreover, there were symptoms of dissatisfaction on curriculum development and revision, and in terms of recruitment, promotion development and retention of instructors and /physical exercise trainers. Likewise, it was found that there were there were dissatisfactions on the selection, enrolment and student’s continuous assessment, and which could be attributed to lack autonomy both in classroom and in physical drill. The study indicated that CIC practices were not dully determined by educational policies rules and regulations and reluctance has been observed both in implementing the existing educational policies, rules and regulation which are still drafts awaiting for approval. Leadership should put in place mechanism and encouraging environment to develop professionalism and decrease political interference. Ensure the selection and appointment of leaders to be based on transparent and sound criteria and the presence of pertinent legal frames and its proper implementation. None military and participatory leadership has to be tested along with paramilitary practice. Segregate concurrent instruction of academic and physical drill, Moreover balance theoretical knowledge production with the skill development in accordance with requirement of the curriculum. Implement the senate legislation properly on academic staffrecruitment and select student officers based on standards stipulated in respective curriculum. Design a mechanism to increase pool of student officers to increase capable candidate. Student officers’ continuous assessment processes should be revisited and reconsidered. Support the practice by research. Design proposal, lobby the government and convince EFPC for having independent annual budget to reduce the lack of infrastructure and facilities. Facilitate and find alternative mechanism to generate funding, which have been one of the bottlenecks of the practice, therefore monitoring the independent variables make the practice fruitful. Researchers can use the study as a springboard for further study CIC practice. | en_US |
