Please find attached key notes aimed at Level 3 Law students. My students find this particular area of law difficult to remember so I have created these notes to help them re-call the key points from both Acts of Parliament. I have also included some key evaluation points to help them answer essay questions.

A lesson on evaluating crime statistics for AC1.6 for Unit 1.

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.

This power point is what i use on open days to quickly run through with parents and potential students. It explains what Criminology is and how the course is broken down. I do a quick and fun “sample activity” at the end to give students an insight into the course. I have found this useful -rather than explaining to each person what Criminology is. Hope this helps!

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.

The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. This is an Introduction Lesson to Unit 4. These materials include a power point, a student booklet and a key terms sheet. This lesson provides a grounding for students to work from given the fact that this unit is legally focused. In order to understand the various topics covered in this unit, it is important to be aware of the basic law making concepts so this intro lesson lightly covers the following areas: How the UK country is run (the three powers) What law is defined as (and why we need it) Where laws come from (sources of law) Is punishment necessary? (Lady Justice) The student booklet is in power point format so it is easy to send to reprographics to run off as stapled booklets. I have told my students to take the booklet home for a frame of reference so when, for instance, we start judicial precedent and they forgot sources of law, they can just refer to the booklet as a reminder of some of the basics.

These Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. 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. I hope you find these resources helpful- particularly if you are new to teaching Criminology.
