Welcome to my shop!
I teach a range of subjects and here you can find access to all the lovely resources that I use in my lessons. I use a range of work booklets, activity sheets, case studies and presentations.
These lesson resources provide all the materials needed to teach and deliver Learning Aim B of Unit 4. They cover the pass task, merit task and the distinction task that is required for Learning Aim B (B.P3/ B.M2/ AB.D1)
Within these resources you will find:
A 28 slide lesson power point which covers all the law required for this section
Case studies for students to use for their write up
Attached are a variety of teaching resources that helped me to assist students with their chosen campaign for change.
I found that lower ability students really found the plan useful as a scaffolding device to help them set out their own campaign.
I have also included the instructions i gave students on putting together their bibliography as some had never written one before.
Some students used the person template to design their own t-shirts and wrist bands etc.

The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover:
Learning Outcome 1: Understand the Process of Criminal Investigations
AC1.4 Examine the Rights of Suspects in Criminal Investigations
The resources cover PACE 1984 and look at the influence of the Human Rights Act and how there must be a balance between police powers and civil liberties. I covered the rights of suspects with students and got them to research witnesses and victims in their own time.
The booklet can be used in lesson and then the student can use it to equip them when writing up their controlled assessment. I tend to send the booklet power point to reprographics and they staple it into a booklet format for me :)
Revision materials for the end of Unit 2:
I found that doing a mixture of tests, revision activities and getting students to have a go at their own revision materials was the best way to revise. It kept it fun, engaging and mixed up!
My students found the Key Theorists Quick Revision Sheet very useful for learning them all so I gave them all a copy and laminated one for the classroom wall. This really came in handy with the lollypop game I played with them all (put the names of the theorists on a lollypop stick and they have to explain who that theorist is and what the theory is about. Make sure you give the lollypop sticks out randomly).
I had a student on results day say that she hated this game at the time but after receiving her A grade- she couldn’t thank me for it enough as it really did WORK! Give it a whirl!

Learning Outcome 1: Understanding the Criminal Justice System in England and Wales
Assignment Criteria 1.2: Describe Models of Criminal Justice
The lesson power point covers:
-models within the criminal justice system (due process and crime control)
-examples that demonstrate how these link to the CJS
-theories that link to each model
This section is quite content heavy and I found it to be quite a ‘lecture-style’ lesson as lots of things needs to be explained so to liven it up I created 3 case studies at the start to help students start thinking about crime models.
I have included an exam question and homework tasks.
Feel free to message me with any questions as I know that this is a new course!
I hope you find these resources helpful- particularly if you are new to teaching Criminology. My specialism is Law and Criminology so I also welcome any Law related questions.

AC2.2 Describe Individualistic Theories of Criminality
The resources include five lessons (as there are lots of theorists to consider for this section) along with research activities, case studies, homework and videos.
I have tried to make this section as fun as possible by incorporating personality tests and interactive things for the students to do.
The resources are all linked back to exam questions and the Criminology spec.
The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover:
Learning Outcome 2: Understand how campaigns are used to elicit change
AC2.1: Compare campaigns for change
The exam board expect students to compare a minimum of at least 5 campaigns for change. Here I have covered 4 campaigns for change which act as good models to set students up with their own research.
There is an activity sheet (I printed this out in poster format so that students could fill it in as we went through the campaigns in lesson) that details how to tackle each campaign. It is important to note that students must break down each campaign by discussing:
What it was about/what started it
The purpose of the campaign
Whether or not it was successful
What other campaigns it can be linked to
The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover:
Learning Outcome 2: Understand how campaigns are used to elicit change
AC.2.2:Evaluate the Effectiveness of Media Used in Campaigns for Change.
The resources consist of a lesson to demonstrate the effectiveness of the media in relevant campaigns for change. The booklet allows students to interact with the lesson but it also means that the students have something to help them write up an answer in the controlled assessment time constraints. There is also a worksheet for students to complete so that they can come up with some of their own media comparisons.
The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover:
Learning Outcome 2: Understand the Requirements of the Crown Prosecution Service for Prosecuting Suspects
AC 2.1: Explain the requirements of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) for prosecuting suspects
The resources cover a general intro to the Learning Objective along with the two tests carried out by the CPS when deciding whether or not to prosecute a suspect. They include case study examples, homework, booklet for the student and other class activities.
The booklet can be used in lesson and then the student can use it to equip them when writing up their controlled assessment. I tend to send the booklet power point to reprographics and they staple it in a booklet format for me :)
The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover:
Learning Outcome 1: Understand the Process of Criminal Investigations
AC1.3 Explain How Evidence is Processed
The resources cover how evidence is processed. I got students to research x1 extra to show they have developed their own personal understanding of evidence and not simply churning out what is in the textbook. We looked at processing “dirt” and I referred them to the Soham Murders case.
The booklet can be used in lesson and then the student can use it to equip them when writing up their controlled assessment. I tend to send the booklet power point to reprographics and they staple it into a booklet format for me :)

The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover:
Learning Outcome 1: Understand the Process of Criminal Investigations
AC1.2: Assess the usefulness of investigative techniques in criminal investigations
The resources start with a peer assessment of AC1.1 (this acts as a nice starter activity and gets students thinking about the structure of their controlled assessment).
The resources then show students how to “assess” the usefulness of investigative techniques through a class activity. The class activity consists of three case studies where students are expected to put themselves in the situation of an investigator (I printed the cases studies out on laminate and then got students to sit in groups and make posters). The students must decide what techniques would be better suited to the case at hand. This really helped my students to tackle AC1.2 with more confidence and they came out of the lesson with a clearer idea on how to actually “assess”.
I have also included an instruction booklet that students can use as guidance for their practice controlled assessment. I tend to send the booklet power point to reprographics and they staple it into a booklet format for me :). My students like this as they have a clear idea of how to set their work out.

AC 2.4: Assess Key Influences Affecting the Outcomes of Criminal Cases
The resources include:
A short lesson introducing different ideas on how a jury can be affected during their decision making.
A short booklet for students is also included to help them set out their work for the controlled assessment.
An independent activity sheet that helps to guide students on where to look for key influences.
An article by the BBC.
An acivity sheet on the R V Young case.
Having spent many teacher-led lessons on this unit, I decided to switch up tactics and make the students do some research and work of their own. These lesson resources helped to give me a breather as well as set my students up on the right track.
Giving them some ideas on case studies to use that are not included in the text book has really helped them to vary their work (rather than just regurgitating what is in there already).
The link for the BBC article is on the power point and is FREE to access on-line but I have also included a copy on here for ease.
