Abstract: This study examines the discourse writing deficiencies of Criminology freshmen of Cagayan de Oro College-PHINMA, using the qualitative research method of case analysis.Forty criminology freshmen were asked to write on the topic “Why did you enroll in the Criminology program?” All the errors in students’ compositions were identified and classified into various criteria of discourse writing based on the modified Jacobs et al.’s instrument for writing evaluation.The findings of the study show that Criminology freshmen are generally deficient in the five areas of discourse writing namely: content, organization, grammar, vocabulary, and mechanics. The results of this case analysis form the data-based English for Criminology: An ESP Monograph which is constructed in five lessons:Narrating the Emergence of Criminology, Investigating the Shooting Incident, Discussing the Crime Scene Search, Reporting the Traffic Violators and Violations, Cause and Effect of Why People Join Gangs. https://doi.org/10.26803/ijhss.11.3.1
