These Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students.
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.
I hope you find these resources helpful- particularly if you are new to teaching Criminology. My specialism is Law and Criminology so I also welcome any Law related 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.
I hope you find these resources helpful- particularly if you are new to teaching Criminology. My specialism is Law and Criminology so I also welcome any Law related questions.

I will be putting more resources up for this unit.
The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover:
Learning Outcome 4: LO 4: Understand causes of policy change
AC 4.3 Discuss how campaigns affect policy development
I have included a power point lesson which gets students to reflect on the campaigns for change they covered in Unit 1. This helped my students to tackle this section better as they then understood how this fitted in with causes of policy change (e.g. Stephen Lawrence and the abolishment of the double jeopardy rule). I had a really good class discussion about this section and we highlighted how the government is often very reactive to incidents rather than proactive. My students were saddened that tragedies such as this had to happen before the government did anything about it.
I have also included an activity sheet and some typical exam questions for this section.
Level 3 Criminology Independent Study Pack
I have put together a booklet using power point. It contains a variety of activities and exercises to encourage students to work from home. I have tried to vary activities as much as possible; there are case studies, exam questions, cut and stick exercises and lots more.
I hope this helps.
I am getting my students to email me portions of it once completed.
This is a bundle of all the teaching resources you would need for the teaching and learning of Unit 2 Criminological Theories (the externally examined unit).
The resources provided are for Level 3 students studying Criminology (Eduqas/WJEC spec).
Each lesson contains a power point and a variety of activities to cover each section. The activities vary from case studies, missing words, key terms sheets, court template/legislation tasks and many other work sheets that cover this diverse topic.
Also included are example exam questions (both long and short) to ensure that students differentiate this topic from the controlled assessment unit which is a different style of teaching and learning.
Given the current nature of students learning from home, I have also created a STUDENT HOME LEARNING PACK that my students have found really useful. I have set them deadlines for each section so I can see that they are learning and revising from home.
Feel free to message me with any questions as I know that this is a new course! I am now known as the Criminology Guru at my college so I am happy to help.
I hope you find these resources helpful- particularly if you are new to teaching Criminology. My specialism is Law and Criminology so I also welcome any Law related questions for Unit 3 and Unit 4 if you are unsure about anything.

I will be putting more resources up for this unit.
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 Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover:
Learning Outcome 4: LO 4: Understand causes of policy change
AC4.2 Explain how social changes affect policy development
This section considers how policy has been influenced by social changes and attitudes in society. There are quite a few topics under this section which could come up in the exam (I discussed a few things with my class to start with early in the lesson). I focus on two main areas in this lesson (same sex relationships and women’s rights) so that they can see how I examine the social change and then the policy development that goes with it. As homework, I set my class the task of researching 4 other topic areas of their own along with the up-skirting activity.
Hope this helps.

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.

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.

I will be putting more resources up for this unit.
These lesson resources provide all the materials needed to teach and deliver Learning Aim A of Unit 4. They cover the two pass tasks and the merit task that is required for Learning Aim A (AP1 AP2 AM1).
Within these resources you will find a selection of:
Lessons that cover the relevant legal principles
Activities
Case Studies
Example Structure Sheets to help students with their work
The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover:
Learning Outcome 3: Be Able to Review Criminal Cases
AC3.1-Examine Information for Validity
The resources include a lesson power point and a booklet that students can use to take notes in. I have also included a structure sheet with a table that helps students to see how they can set out in section in a logical order.
There are case studies for each source and some articles for wider reading that I have also popped onto the power point (and provided the links to). The BBC article is free to access on-line but I have also put this into a Word Document for ease (gives the students something to read and highlight/take home).
This is a bundle of all the teaching resources you would need for the teaching and learning of Unit 4 Crime and Punishment (the externally examined unit).
The resources provided are for Level 3 students studying Criminology (Eduqas/WJEC spec).
Each lesson contains a mixture of engaging tasks. The activities vary from case studies, scaffolding sheets, link to theorists, exam questions, homework and many other things.
I always do an introduction lesson for each unit and I find that this really helps to “set the scene” for what the students are about to learn. I have included these resources in the bundle.
Given the current nature of students learning from home, I have also created a STUDENT REVISION PACK that my students have found really useful. I have set them deadlines for each section so I can see that they are learning and revising from home. I have also set them exam questions and they have taken pictures of their timed essays and emailed them into me.
Feel free to message me with any questions as I know that this is a new course! I am now known as the Criminology Guru at my college so I am happy to help.
I hope you find these resources helpful- particularly if you are new to teaching Criminology. My specialism is Law and Criminology so I also welcome any Law related questions also.

The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover:
Learning Outcome 4: LO 4: Understand causes of policy change
AC4.1 Assess the use of Criminological Theories in Informing Policy Development
This section considers how theories (already covered earlier in the unit) can help to reduce crime. For example, the idea that CBT/pyschoanalysis can help someone overcome long-term trauma or abuse. If long-term trauma or abuse is not dealt with this can often lead to aggression /anger issues and can in some instances sadly result in criminality. This section of the exam therefore explores a variety of those theories (from diet to token economy etc).
I have included a number of activities to help keep students engaged e.g. eat well plate, case studies, examples of crime prevention policies and exam questions linked to this section.
This is a bundle of all the teaching resources you would need for the teaching and learning of Unit 3 Crime Scene to Courtroom (the controlled assessment) of the Level 3 course.
The resources provided are for Level 3 students studying Criminology (Eduqas/WJEC spec).
Each lesson contains a power point and booklet for students to write in. I personally, use the booklets to keep track and ensure that students are doing what they should be. As you can’t mark student work until the end of the controlled assessment period- this really has helped me to track student progress. I get students to hand in their booklets after I have finished teaching each assignment criteria. This ensures that they are doing their independent research outside of lesson.
I have based these resources/lessons on the Gareth Hughes Assignment Brief (all the exam material provided by the exam board is FREE on the Eduqas website). I have made links to this assignment brief throughout as practice so that students then know how to apply each section when they are doing the formal controlled assessment (with a brief that they haven’t yet seen).
The resources provide you with booklets, answer plans, activities and much more to teach the whole of Unit 3 with. If you are teaching this for half the year, this provides you with effectively 6 months of teaching resources and it works out cheaper to buy the bundle rather than paying for each lesson individually.
Feel free to message me with any questions as I know that this is a new course! I am now known as the Criminology Guru at my college so I am happy to help.
I hope you find these resources helpful- particularly if you are new to teaching Criminology. My specialism is Law and Criminology so I also welcome any Law related questions for Unit 3 and Unit 4 if you are unsure about anything.

The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover:
Learning Outcome 2: Understand how campaigns are used to elicit change
AC.2.2:Evaluate the Effectiveness of Media Used in Campaigns for Change.
The resources consist of a lesson to demonstrate the effectiveness of the media in relevant campaigns for change. The booklet allows students to interact with the lesson but it also means that the students have something to help them write up an answer in the controlled assessment time constraints. There is also a worksheet for students to complete so that they can come up with some of their own media comparisons.
Anyone looking for the Unit 3 assignment brief as a practice run through with students then please find attached a copy here. This was the original one from the exam board which I know a lot of people have struggled to find.
Hope this helps,
