Welcome to my shop!
I teach a range of subjects and here you can find access to all the lovely resources that I use in my lessons. I use a range of work booklets, activity sheets, case studies and presentations.
The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover:
Learning Outcome 2: Understand how campaigns are used to elicit change
AC2.1: Compare campaigns for change
The exam board expect students to compare a minimum of at least 5 campaigns for change. Here I have covered 4 campaigns for change which act as good models to set students up with their own research.
There is an activity sheet (I printed this out in poster format so that students could fill it in as we went through the campaigns in lesson) that details how to tackle each campaign. It is important to note that students must break down each campaign by discussing:
What it was about/what started it
The purpose of the campaign
Whether or not it was successful
What other campaigns it can be linked to
The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover:
Learning Outcome 2: Understand the Processes for Prosecution of Suspects
AC 2.3 Understand Rules in Relation to the Use of Evidence in Criminal Cases
This lesson looks at the rules that govern the use of evidence during the court trial process. A lesson power point and student booklet has been provided so that students can follow along by taking part in the written tasks/activities.
The lesson resources address the following objectives:
*Explain the rules of evidence in relation to relevance and admissibility
*Describe the rules on disclosure of evidence (and exceptions to the rules on hearsay evidence)
*Support your answers with legislation and cases
The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover:
Learning Outcome 2: Understand the Processes for Prosecution of Suspects
AC 2.5: Discuss the use of Lay People in Criminal Cases
The resources include a lesson power point and a booklet that students can use to take notes in.
There are also a couple of videos for students to watch within the PP which helps them to visual the use of Lay People within the Criminal Courts.
This power point is what i use on open days to quickly run through with parents and potential students. It explains what Criminology is and how the course is broken down. I do a quick and fun “sample activity” at the end to give students an insight into the course.
I have found this useful -rather than explaining to each person what Criminology is.
Hope this helps!
The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover:
Learning Outcome 1: Understand the Process of Criminal Investigations
AC1.4 Examine the Rights of Suspects in Criminal Investigations
The resources cover PACE 1984 and look at the influence of the Human Rights Act and how there must be a balance between police powers and civil liberties. I covered the rights of suspects with students and got them to research witnesses and victims in their own time.
The booklet can be used in lesson and then the student can use it to equip them when writing up their controlled assessment. I tend to send the booklet power point to reprographics and they staple it into a booklet format for me :)

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.

These materials include; a lengthy lesson power point (this takes me x2 lessons to cover), model answer to an exam question, key terms and other activities for students to complete.
The content covers Parliamentary Law Making and Judicial Precedent. I have also included a short power point on statutory interpretation (I have touched on this in lesson but given my students homework to look at this in more detail).

Learning Outcome 1: Understanding the Criminal Justice System in England and Wales
Assignment Criteria 1.2: Describe Models of Criminal Justice
The lesson power point covers:
-models within the criminal justice system (due process and crime control)
-examples that demonstrate how these link to the CJS
-theories that link to each model
This section is quite content heavy and I found it to be quite a ‘lecture-style’ lesson as lots of things needs to be explained so to liven it up I created 3 case studies at the start to help students start thinking about crime models.
I have included an exam question and homework tasks.

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.

Learning Outcome 3: Understanding Measures Used in Social Control
AC3.4 Evaluate the Effectiveness of Agencies in Achieving Social Control
The resources include a lesson power point, follow along student booklet, activities, homework and exam questions. The evaluation part requires higher order thinking skills from students so I have tried to break this down as much as possible so that students feel more confident in tackling longer exam questions.

Learning Outcome 3: Understanding Measures Used in Social Control
AC3.2 Describe the Contribution of Agencies to Achieving Social Control
The resources include a lesson power point, follow along student booklet and activities. Within the lesson I have included discussion tasks, picture tasks and tables. The content addresses the following:
By Design (Environment/Prison)-This looks at how local councils design environment areas to help reduce crime
Behavioural Tactics- This looks at things such as ASBOS/police cautions/warnings/fines etc
Institutional Tactics- This looks at CJS institutions such as prison using things such as token economy systems
Gaps in State Provision-This looks at the flaws in social control agencies and why they are not able to achieve complete social control e.g. lack of adequate funding etc

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.

Learning Outcome 2: Understanding the Role of Punishment in a Criminal Justice System
Assignment Criteria 2.2: Discuss the Aims of Punishment
The lesson power point covers the key aims of sentencing set out by the CJA. It considers what these aims mean for the courts and how they can be used. There are activities for students to link these aims to key theorists. I have included activities such as; a work booklet, a case study and a revision sheet amongst many other things to keep students engaged.

These resources cover the content needed for Causation in Criminal Law. They can be adapted to any specification (BTEC/A-Level etc).
They cover the following lesson objectives:
Identify the meaning of the term ‘causation’ in criminal liability
Explain the rules of ‘causation’ using supporting cases
Apply the rules of ‘causation’ to an exam scenario
I have included differentiated activities; there is a stretch and challenge exam question for most able and then a set of mini scenarios for least able. Also included is a case tick off sheet and a student follow along booklet.
I hope these help!

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.
