GCSE Sociology (Eduqas) - Crime and Deviance - Theoretical Views [Powerpoint Presentation]

A 13 slide PowerPoint presentation that covers a range of sociological theories and their views on crime and deviance. The resource is designed to be delivered to students in a ‘lead from the front’ lesson / revision session format and should take approx. 100 mins to deliver. It includes:

• A starter task
• Guidance to students on how to take notes from the lesson
• The Functionalist view (Durkheim, Merton, Collective Sentiments, Anomie, Strain Theory)
• Feminist view (Heidensohn, McRobbie, Female Conformity, Ladette Culture)
• Marxist View (Chambliss, Differential Enforcement of the Law, Property Law)
• New Right view (Murray, Underclass, Delinquency, Culture of Poverty)
• Interactionist view (Becker, Labelling, Master Status, Self-fulfilling Prophecy, Deviant Career)
• The Subcultural view (A. Cohen, S. Cohen, Matza, Delinquency, Status Frustration, Moral Panics)
• An example of a 15 mark exam question (based on the content covered) with guidance on how to answer it
• An extension task based around key word awareness from the crime and deviance unit
• Animated to ‘build’ information to students gradually
• Brief instructions for the teacher and timing guidance are included in the notes to the document.

The resource is designed to be delivered to students studying the new WJEC/Eduqas GCSE Sociology specification and who have some prior awareness of sociological theory (e.g. from component 1 modules).
