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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The resources are all linked back to exam questions and the Criminology spec.
