These resources are aimed at Level 3 students studying Criminology. Having taught this unit for the first time this year- I found it incredibly useful to do a few general introduction sessions to the overall unit by using one of the briefs as a practice. It meant that students could confidently discuss things such as police powers and the balance of civil liberties with ease when it came to tackling the formal controlled assessment brief. I also gave students a summer homework booklet to complete prior to starting the new unit which enabled us to kick start the academic year off with enthusiasm. I hope these resources help you as much as they have done my Y13 students.

The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover: Learning Outcome 1: Understand the Process of Criminal Investigations AC1.2: Assess the usefulness of investigative techniques in criminal investigations The resources start with a peer assessment of AC1.1 (this acts as a nice starter activity and gets students thinking about the structure of their controlled assessment). The resources then show students how to “assess” the usefulness of investigative techniques through a class activity. The class activity consists of three case studies where students are expected to put themselves in the situation of an investigator (I printed the cases studies out on laminate and then got students to sit in groups and make posters). The students must decide what techniques would be better suited to the case at hand. This really helped my students to tackle AC1.2 with more confidence and they came out of the lesson with a clearer idea on how to actually “assess”. I have also included an instruction booklet that students can use as guidance for their practice controlled assessment. I tend to send the booklet power point to reprographics and they staple it into a booklet format for me :). My students like this as they have a clear idea of how to set their work out. PLASE NOTE -that the Brian Keating DNA case study activity mentioned on the power point is FREE and is available to ALL to use on the Napier Press website.

The attached resources includes a work booklet, a dilemma card activity and a power point presentation. The lesson can be used for either A Level Law students or BTEC Law Level 3 students. The booklet provided allows students to interact with the lesson. Print out the dilemma cards and get students to decide which category their offence/dilemma falls into.
