No video for week beginning 1/12/14

There is no pre-video to watch for week beginning 1/12/14.  I feel we need to consolidate the gender and crime topic, and ensure that we are organised in our work and files, as well as identifying work which should have been done.

Please bring your files, all work you have, any queries, and a head on to consolidate gender and crime.

See you at next lesson.

This week we look at the final piece in the gender and crime puzzle; male crime.  When watching think about the reasons and see if you can link to any crimes you have seen or heard of yourself.

As ever we will delve into the ideas in class to reinforce our understanding.

Explaining Female Crime

We will be focusing in class on the ideas surrounding reasons for females committing more crimes, or more 'male' viewed crimes, and analysing the OCS.

As mentioned in the video I need you to refresh your memory on unstructured interviews from methods last year as we will be addressing this in class.

Gender and Crime Week 1 - Patterns and Trends

Here is the video in preparation for classes week beginning 10th November.

Questions to consider when watching the video:

• Why might some crimes not be reported?
• Does the 'chivalry thesis' still have weight and validity today?
• What impact, if any, might the rise in female positions within the court system have on how females are treated?
