Crime and Punishment
The aim of this lesson is to ascertain how attitudes towards punishment have changed in the 21st Century.
Students begin the lesson by deciding which punishments are new in the modern era (change) and which punishments have stayed the same (continuity).
They then analyse how successful new preventative measures are being promoted through schemes such as neighbourhood watch and community policing.
Students also investigate the different policing departments set up to tackle crime, such as Special Branch and the National Crime Agency.
There is a chance to debate the morality of the death penalty and whether it should be brought back or not, with arguments given for both sides.
The final focus is on the role of prisons in today’s society, never far away from the news headlines. A true or false quiz is also designed to challenge misconceptions and clarify current prison problems.
Ultimately there is some recall practice on previous thinking about punishments through the ages, before students can tackle some key assessment question practice, with help and a markscheme provided if required.
There is an enquiry question posed at the start of the lesson and revisited throughout to show the progress of learning throughout the lesson and subsequent unit of work.
The lesson comes in PowerPoint format and can be changed and adapted to suit.
The lesson is differentiated, fully resourced and includes suggested teaching strategies.
