I have used resources produced by numerous teachers from this website. I have adapted this to teach in Scotland. I have shown them the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe as an introduction to this subject and have linked this in the powerpoint by using some slides from another TES resource. Topics covered include causes of crime such as alcohol and drugs,why we punish, prisons, what the government has done, what charities do. Capital punishment in the UK and elsewhere. Alternatives to prison and Religious responses to how we deal with crime. I teach in a single teacher department and therefore welcome criticism. I have a son who has Mears Irlens Syndrome and I have tried to make these resources as Mears Irlens friendly as possible.
