This interactive multi-use learning session is useful as a part of your school’s P4C work and is of particular interest to teachers of PSHE, Ethics, Citizenship & Law it focuses on a wide range of topics such as:
- The nature of laws
- The causes of crime
- How we should respond to crime
- Capital & corporal Punishment
- The role of the police in society
- The rights of criminals
We’ve aimed to cover as many issues as possible when it comes to finding engaging philosophical and ethical issues for young learners to debate and discuss in relation to law, crime, policing, justice, and the criminal justice system!
The big question asked in this session is “What is the best way to deal with criminal offenders?”. Using a variety of engaging activities students will discuss and debate a wide range of other philosophical and ethical questions such as:
-
What is the fundamental purpose of laws?
-
Why do different countries have different laws?
-
To what extent are prisons an effective punishment?
-
Why do some people commit crimes whilst others do not? and
-
To what extent is poverty the main driver of crime?
Students will also analyse and evaluate an eclectic mix of philosophical and ethical claims such as: -
“Some criminals should be executed for their crimes”
-
“Some of the laws in our country need to be changed”
-
“It would be ideal if 100% of crimes were identified and their culprits punished”
-
“Prisons are the best way to punish those who break the law”
-
“Those who commit violence should be punished with violence” (corporal punishment)
