Discussion:

Shown above is a vertical comparison of the curriculum for the Bachelor of Science in criminology versus the CARASUC enhanced curriculum.

On the general Education courses, the CARASUC enhanced curriculum has six (6) additional units because of the inclusion of another 3 units in the Filipino subjects as required by CMO 54, series of 2007, at the same time an additional 3 units was included under the mathematics subjects which is the Statistics, this was necessarily included to strengthen better understanding on the rules of research which is a terminal requirement for graduation.

On the major courses there was an additional 3 units due to the inclusion of a new subject under the Correctional administration on Overview of Global Restorative Justice. This is so to enhance students learning on the application of the principles of Alternative Dispute Resolution.

Other enhancement include the incorporation of the subject, Special Criminal Laws where the objectives of the inclusion is to give updates on students learning on new development of criminal laws, the students will determine whether or not such new law is relevant to requirement of time. And also they are going to relate these laws to the changing criminal environment.

On the area of criminal detection and investigation, the units was reduced since the subjects special crime investigation and fundamentals of investigation were merged to give way on a longer time in the study of the new investigation subject which is the organized crime investigation.

Under Criminalistics, the study of DNA as a means of investigation was given emphasis on the subject legal medicine to justify the study of the new rules on DNA evidence which was appended under the rules of admissibility of evidence.

On the area of Law Enforcement, the subjects Police organization, Planning and police records Management were integrated as one since the study of the Police Organization, it is an integral necessity to study planning and records management as part of the organizational development.

On the area of Sociology of Crimes, another 3 units on research was included, this is for the basic reason that a research output is impossible to be accomplished on just one semester. Another enhancement is on the subject Criminal Justice System, where Philippine Tribal Justice System is included as part of the study, this is brought about the condition that the constitution recognizes the autonomous region of Mindanao and the Cordilleras where some type of justice system are being practiced which the constitution itself recognized these tribal practices. It is therefore necessary to make it a part of the study such that criminologist in the future will not just be limited to understanding the mainstream justice system.
