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 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!
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 1: Understanding the Criminal Justice System in England and Wales
These materials include; a lengthy lesson power point (this takes me x2 lessons to cover), model answer to an exam question, key terms and other activities for students to complete.
The content covers Parliamentary Law Making and Judicial Precedent. I have also included a short power point on statutory interpretation (I have touched on this in lesson but given my students homework to look at this in more detail).

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.

This is a bundle of all the teaching resources you would need for the teaching and learning of Unit 2 Criminological Theories (the externally examined unit).
The resources provided are for Level 3 students studying Criminology (Eduqas/WJEC spec).
Each lesson contains a power point and a variety of activities to cover each section. The activities vary from case studies, missing words, key terms sheets, court template/legislation tasks and many other work sheets that cover this diverse topic.
Also included are example exam questions (both long and short) to ensure that students differentiate this topic from the controlled assessment unit which is a different style of teaching and learning.
Given the current nature of students learning from home, I have also created a STUDENT HOME LEARNING PACK that my students have found really useful. I have set them deadlines for each section so I can see that they are learning and revising from home.
Feel free to message me with any questions as I know that this is a new course! I am now known as the Criminology Guru at my college so I am happy to help.

The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover:
Learning Outcome 4: LO 4: Understand causes of policy change
AC4.2 Explain how social changes affect policy development
This section considers how policy has been influenced by social changes and attitudes in society. There are quite a few topics under this section which could come up in the exam (I discussed a few things with my class to start with early in the lesson). I focus on two main areas in this lesson (same sex relationships and women’s rights) so that they can see how I examine the social change and then the policy development that goes with it. As homework, I set my class the task of researching 4 other topic areas of their own along with the up-skirting activity.
Hope this helps.
The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover:
Learning Outcome 3: Understand Causes of Criminality
AC3.2 Evaluate the Effect of Criminological Theories
Students must consider the strengths and weaknesses for each theorist that they have covered earlier in Unit 2.
I have included some example criticisms and students must come up with some of their own by completing the grids.
I have also included some example exam questions.
Level 3 Criminology Independent Study Pack
I have put together a booklet using power point. It contains a variety of activities and exercises to encourage students to work from home. I have tried to vary activities as much as possible; there are case studies, exam questions, cut and stick exercises and lots more.
I hope this helps.
I am getting my students to email me portions of it once completed.
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!
The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover:
Learning Outcome 4: LO 4: Understand causes of policy change
AC 4.3 Discuss how campaigns affect policy development
I have included a power point lesson which gets students to reflect on the campaigns for change they covered in Unit 1. This helped my students to tackle this section better as they then understood how this fitted in with causes of policy change (e.g. Stephen Lawrence and the abolishment of the double jeopardy rule). I had a really good class discussion about this section and we highlighted how the government is often very reactive to incidents rather than proactive. My students were saddened that tragedies such as this had to happen before the government did anything about it.
I have also included an activity sheet and some typical exam questions for this section.
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.
The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover:
Learning Outcome 3: Understand Causes of Criminality
AC 3.1 Analyse situations of Criminality
This section is building on students’ existing knowledge by using case study examples to analyse for extended exam questions. These resources include a short lesson, research and case studies where students can practice skills on the longer form exam questions.
The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover:
Learning Outcome 2: Know Theories of Criminality
AC 2.3 Describe Sociological Theories of Criminality
The resources include lesson power points, case studies, exam practice questions and worksheets.
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: Know Theories of Criminality
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: Know Theories of Criminality
AC2.1 Describe Biological Theories of Criminality
The resources include label activities, worksheets and a lesson power point on the different types of biological theories. Students can use the templates to help them during lesson or for revision purposes.
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 1: Understand Social Constructs of Criminality
AC1.2 Explain the social construction of criminality
The resources include lessons and activities on the social constructs of criminality. They explore the idea that society creates law and therefore crimes in different countries and across cultures are interestingly comparable.
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 1: Understand Social Constructs of Criminality
AC1.1 Compare criminal and deviant behaviour
The resources include a Unit 2 general introduction and then a power point that covers AC1.1. The intro lesson helped me to transition the students from a controlled assessment mind set, to an exam mind set which requires more independent revision from students.
I also found it useful to highlight to my students the synoptic nature of the course so reminded students not to forget everything they learned from Unit 1 (all the units are building blocks to the next set of learning and this is why one of the first activities I get students to do is to look at the questions they CAN already answer on the Unit 2 paper using their Unit 1 knowledge).
You will also find a student booklet and homework activities included.
PLEASE NOTE: that the sample exam questions referred within my power point to can be accessed for FREE on the EDUQAS website.

This is a bundle of all the teaching resources you would need for the teaching and learning of Unit 3 Crime Scene to Courtroom (the controlled assessment) of the Level 3 course.
The resources provided are for Level 3 students studying Criminology (Eduqas/WJEC spec).
Each lesson contains a power point and booklet for students to write in. I personally, use the booklets to keep track and ensure that students are doing what they should be. As you can’t mark student work until the end of the controlled assessment period- this really has helped me to track student progress. I get students to hand in their booklets after I have finished teaching each assignment criteria. This ensures that they are doing their independent research outside of lesson.
I have based these resources/lessons on the Gareth Hughes Assignment Brief (all the exam material provided by the exam board is FREE on the Eduqas website). I have made links to this assignment brief throughout as practice so that students then know how to apply each section when they are doing the formal controlled assessment (with a brief that they haven’t yet seen).
The resources provide you with booklets, answer plans, activities and much more to teach the whole of Unit 3 with. If you are teaching this for half the year, this provides you with effectively 6 months of teaching resources and it works out cheaper to buy the bundle rather than paying for each lesson individually.
Feel free to message me with any questions as I know that this is a new course! I am now known as the Criminology Guru at my college so I am happy to help.
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 for Unit 3 and Unit 4 if you are unsure about anything.

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 Processes for Prosecution of Suspects
AC 2.5: Discuss the use of Lay People in Criminal Cases
The resources include a lesson power point and a booklet that students can use to take notes in.
There are also a couple of videos for students to watch within the PP which helps them to visual the use of Lay People within the Criminal Courts.
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.
