A power-point revision quiz for Units 1 and 2. Also included is a quiz covering infamous cases and news stories.

I have created two sample briefs which can be used to practice various ACs in the Unit 1 Controlled Assessment. The briefs cover the following crimes: white collar, technological and individual (domestic abuse and hate crimes). If my sample briefs (I’ve also made others) are useful to you, please do leave a review :) Many thanks.

A blank template and three exemplars covering the police, the CPS and the judiciary for students to put together a revision sheet of each agency covering the key points of aims, objectives, philosophy, funding and working practices.

This is a sample brief for Unit 1 Controlled Assessment which I created and have included sample answers covering ACs 1.1-1.4 which could be used for model answers for students or an assessment task. Opportunities to amend and to remove paragraphs so they can complete the answers themselves.

This is a sample brief which I created for students to be able to practise applying skills from the various ACs. I have included a model answer for AC 3.1 and 3.2 to give some ideas for potential structuring of the answer, content, case studies and how to apply those skills to the brief.

A sample brief for students to practise analysing for Unit 3 Controlled Assessment in Criminology. I have the students go through with different coloured highlighters to link to different AC topics and see if any information in the brief could be relevant to that topic (task 1 on the sheet). Then I have the students discuss and make notes on the sources of information in the brief and how valid they are (links to AC 3.1). I have included a sample answer for the AC 3.1 topic (worth 15 marks in the assessment) which could be given to/shown to students and then taken back in so they don’t have in their folders.

This is for Unit 2 of Criminology. You can have the students work independently, in pairs or in groups. Hand out the case cards and the students can work on researching the case and formulating their own theories as to why the individual committed their crimes. Then they could add their theories to a blank template of the table (not included) which I have typed up for each serial killer, linking to various biological, psychological and sociological theories to possibly explain their behaviour. Extension tasks could include having the students write up an exam answer on the theories explaining criminal behaviour or a class debate on which theory is best to explain a particular serial killer’s behaviour. This could be done as an intro to Unit 2 or as a way to end the Unit prior to exam revision. The case cards could be used like Application scenarios, as in the exam.

A useful checklist with information on key points to include, possible case studies to reference, campaigns to reference and advice on structuring answers.

A handy checklist for teachers and students when preparing for the Unit 3 Controlled Assessment. Gives ideas for structuring answers as well as useful case studies to research. Timings and marks per Assessment Criteria included.

This is a useful “cheat sheet” for Unit 4 revision which covers every AC in Unit 4 with relevant case studies, important legislation and links to Unit 2 theories which are relevant to that AC and useful for exam answers. Can be used by the teacher as well to add more details during lessons then be given when it is time to revise or could be given at the start of Unit 4 and the students could research the cases prior to covering the next AC.
