These Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students.
Learning Outcome 2: Understanding the Role of Punishment in a Criminal Justice System
Assignment Criteria 2.2: Discuss the Aims of Punishment
The lesson power point covers the key aims of sentencing set out by the CJA. It considers what these aims mean for the courts and how they can be used. There are activities for students to link these aims to key theorists. I have included activities such as; a work booklet, a case study and a revision sheet amongst many other things to keep students engaged.

Learning Outcome 2: Understanding the Role of Punishment in a Criminal Justice System
Assignment Criteria 2.3: Assess How Forms of Punishment Meet the Aims of Punishment
The lesson power point covers the four key types of sentence and how the courts try to meet their aims with those punishments.
I have included a booklet for students to follow along with, exam questions for this assignment criteria and an activity on the James Bulger case.
The Sentecing Council website has some really great videos on how the courts decide their sentences. They are short and sweet but my students found them to be helpful.
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.

Learning Outcome 3: Understanding Measures Used in Social Control
AC3.2 Describe the Contribution of Agencies to Achieving Social Control
The resources include a lesson power point, follow along student booklet and activities. Within the lesson I have included discussion tasks, picture tasks and tables. The content addresses the following:
By Design (Environment/Prison)-This looks at how local councils design environment areas to help reduce crime
Behavioural Tactics- This looks at things such as ASBOS/police cautions/warnings/fines etc
Institutional Tactics- This looks at CJS institutions such as prison using things such as token economy systems
Gaps in State Provision-This looks at the flaws in social control agencies and why they are not able to achieve complete social control e.g. lack of adequate funding etc
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.

Learning Outcome 3: Understanding Measures Used in Social Control
AC3.1: Explain the Role of Agencies in Social Control
The lesson power point covers an introduction to the new learning objective along with activities, tasks and research. The Criminology textbooks focus on facts of the social control agencies (which the students can easily read as homework), therefore I have focused the lesson on HOW social control is achieved by these agencies as this is what is required for the exam (if you look at the sample questions and mark schemes).
Therefore, I have made it explicit to the students where/how each agency achieves control. I have covered: The CPS/The Police/The Judiciary/Prison Services. I have tasked students to cover the Probation Service and Charities & Pressure groups within their booklet on their own so they are not completely reliant on me during the lesson and to help keep up engagement.
I found it useful to cover a little on the Separation of Powers theory first -particularly when it comes to the Judiciary as this really helps students to understand the evaluation points that come later in the unit. I have attached a SOP lesson on here- if you wish to use it in this or another lesson.

Learning Outcome 3: Understanding Measures Used in Social Control
AC3.4 Evaluate the Effectiveness of Agencies in Achieving Social Control
The resources include a lesson power point, follow along student booklet, activities, homework and exam questions. The evaluation part requires higher order thinking skills from students so I have tried to break this down as much as possible so that students feel more confident in tackling longer exam questions.

This is the last section in Unit 4 but I will also be putting some end of unit revision materials on TES.
These Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students.
Learning Outcome 1: Understanding the Criminal Justice System in England and Wales
Assignment Criteria 1.2: Describe the Organisation of the Criminal Justice System in England and Wales
I have included a power point that illustrates the relationships between the main agencies within the CJS. I have set this out in mind map format so that students can make the ‘relationship connections’ in a fun way. They can either create their own or use the templates I have provided. I have modelled four of the agencies to demonstrate what they need to do. I have told my students that they need a mind map/flow chart for each agency as an exam question could come up on any one of them.
I have also included homework tasks and exam questions.
Feel free to message me with any questions as I know that this is a new course!

This lesson is for A Level Law students which covers the key aspects of Privity of Contract. The lesson gives advice on how to tackle an exam question on this area of law.
These resources are aimed at A Level law students studying Contract Law. The lessons and activities focus on the following areas:
Discharge of contract
-Frustration
-Specific Performance
All the relevant legal principles and cases are included.
Note-The OCR website also has a sample model question and answer which works nicely with this lesson- I have included this for ease of access as a few people have emailed me to ask for it. It is FREE on the OCR site and there is no charge here for this.
The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover:
Learning Outcome 3: Be Able to Review Criminal Cases
AC3.1-Examine Information for Validity
The resources include a lesson power point and a booklet that students can use to take notes in. I have also included a structure sheet with a table that helps students to see how they can set out in section in a logical order.
There are case studies for each source and some articles for wider reading that I have also popped onto the power point (and provided the links to). The BBC article is free to access on-line but I have also put this into a Word Document for ease (gives the students something to read and highlight/take home).
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 :)
These resources are aimed at Level 3 students studying Criminology.
Having taught this unit for the first time this year- I found it incredibly useful to do a few general introduction sessions to the overall unit by using one of the briefs as a practice.
It meant that students could confidently discuss things such as police powers and the balance of civil liberties with ease when it came to tackling the formal controlled assessment brief.
I also gave students a summer homework booklet to complete prior to starting the new unit which enabled us to kick start the academic year off with enthusiasm.
I hope these resources help you as much as they have done my Y13 students.
The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover:
Learning Outcome 2: Understand the Processes for Prosecution of Suspects
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.
Unit 1 Changing Awareness of Crime
Learning Outcome 1: Understand how crime reporting affects the public perception of criminality
Assessment Criteria 1.4: Media Representation of Crime
The lessons includes the following LO:
Identify the different forms of media that report crime(E-C) Grade)
Explain a variety of methods that the media use to represent crime (C-B Grade)
Describe media representations of crime using examples to support your points (B-A Grade)
Please find attached Level 3 resources for the new specification of Criminology. These resources have been created for post-16 students who are studying the Applied Certificate and Diploma in Criminology. They are suitable for both WJEC and Eduqas exam boards.
The resources attached include both a teacher power point presentation and a student activity booklet. This means that students can follow the lesson easily and the assessment criteria which they are completing is clear. I have designed these booklets so that students feel more guided when it comes to the formal controlled assessment. They can follow the subject material and extend their own learning through the key term homeworks and case studies.
The student booklet includes: missing word activity/ written tasks/ similar & different media observation tasks/homework.
I have linked the lessons to the “Mr and Mrs S” Exam Board Assignment Brief but you can tailor the lessons to any brief that you have selected for your students. Remember that students must acknowledge the assignment brief but not make it all about the assignment brief. They must focus on meeting the assessment criteria set out by the exam board.
Enjoy!

PLASE NOTE -that the Plea Bargaining Activity mentioned on the power point is FREE and is available to ALL to use on the Napier Press website. I am happy to send over a copy if you struggle finding it- just pop me an email :) rachael.s.roberts@hotmail.co.uk
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 :)

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 Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover:
Learning Outcome 4: LO 4: Understand causes of policy change
AC4.1 Assess the use of Criminological Theories in Informing Policy Development
This section considers how theories (already covered earlier in the unit) can help to reduce crime. For example, the idea that CBT/pyschoanalysis can help someone overcome long-term trauma or abuse. If long-term trauma or abuse is not dealt with this can often lead to aggression /anger issues and can in some instances sadly result in criminality. This section of the exam therefore explores a variety of those theories (from diet to token economy etc).
I have included a number of activities to help keep students engaged e.g. eat well plate, case studies, examples of crime prevention policies and exam questions linked to this section.
Revision materials for the end of Unit 4:
I have included a power point booklet that students can complete at home after completing their learning for Unit 4.
The materials include:
-Activities
-Exam Question
-Theory link table

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!
