Abstract:
Purposive Communication plays a significant role in criminology education by equipping students with the skills needed for effective communication in both academic settings and professional law enforcement contexts. This study explored the course’s content focus, teaching strategies, and alignment with professional demands, particularly in relation to communication requirements in law enforcement practice. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the research employed document analysis and thematic synthesis of related literature, organized into three key areas: curriculum relevance, instructional approaches, and professional alignment. The findings indicate that Purposive Communication is firmly grounded in curriculum standards and aims to develop core competencies such as report writing, investigative communication, interviewing, and professional interaction. Teaching strategies including contextualized instruction, experiential learning, and the use of multimedia were found to enhance student engagement and skill acquisition, though their effectiveness relies heavily on consistent application and instructor readiness. Furthermore, the results demonstrate a strong alignment between course outcomes and the communication demands of law enforcement, particularly in areas such as documentation, field communication, teamwork, and scenario- based training. The study concludes that Purposive Communication plays a significant role in preparing criminology students for the communication challenges of the criminal justice field. It recommends further strengthening curriculum integration, enhancing experiential and applied learning methods, and improving instructional consistency to better develop students’ communication competence and professional preparedness.
