Lesson 8/9: The nature of criminality in the UK I have put together these two lessons as Lesson 8 requires IT. There is a small amount of input on recorded crime statistics and the issues with them, students then research the current picture of crime in the UK. They can do this by sharing the worksheet electronically and students populate it using the link. Equally they could hand write it. Lesson 9 is not essential, however, it is a good contrast to the Summer riots of 2024. This lesson focuses on a documentary about the UK riots of 2011, students then write a report on the reasons for it starting. I have them start this in lesson, and finish as homework. If this was all completed in lesson, there is over 3 hours of learning in this bundle.
