WJEC Criminology Unit 2 AC 2.1 Biological Theories

This PowerPoint should take 3-4 lessons to cover the biological theories of criminality thoroughly and effectively. There is plenty of exam practice and consolidation after each area. As this is the first large AC students will be completing in the subject I have made these lessons efficient so as to not cognitively overload students. All relevant research and criminal cases are included as well as consolidation resources after each category of theory within the biological theory topic. All resources are included in the PowerPoint and so are therefore easy to print but also to go through for those students who need a visual walk through. The point early on is to highlight the importance or evidence and how this elevates question answers. These lessons will help you do this by questioning students along the way as to the importance and relevance of the evidence included. These lesson go beyond the textbook and explore how applicable these theories are to real crime cases which should keep students engaged and invested! Enjoy!
