This is designed for KS4 Sociology. It has a 530-word cockney explanation and evaluation of Heidensohn’s ideas on social control and female conformity as outlined in “Women and Crime” (1985). Pupils can translate this using the glossary provided for the 22 cockney terms. Although designed for the AQA course, this resource is also suitable for Eduqas. A separate plain English translation is included. This task can be used to introduce or recap Heidensohn, as a homework task, or even for revision purposes. Additionally, this activity is a chance for some cultural education as well (SMSC!). If you fancy a challenge, you could ask pupils questions about Heidensohn and insist that they reply in cockney. (Still not convinced? Take a butcher’s at the preview, and you’ll see it ain’t a load of Brad Pitt!)
