Which term corresponds to 'Ability to convey meaning through writing'?

• A. Crime-related Issues
• B. Evaluation of Evidence
• C. Written Communication
• D. Achievement Standards

Answer: (C)

The concept here is describing how we express ideas through writing. This is about written communication—the ability to convey meaning clearly and effectively in written form, which includes structure, accuracy, tone, and appropriate language for the audience. In criminology practice, this is essential for drafting case notes, reports, referral letters, and any documentation that needs to be understood by others, including colleagues, managers, or courts.

The other terms don’t fit this idea: crime-related issues refer to topics about crime itself, not how we write; evaluation of evidence is about judging the reliability and relevance of information; achievement standards are about expected levels of performance, not the act of writing.
