Crime prevention and punishment

This week we are focusing on how society tries to prevent crime and the punishments given for when they are unable to do this.  Durkheim is prevalent in this discuss so maybe read up on his ideology again to refresh, as well as link the ideas in with previous perspectives covered.

For class, please ensure you have your notes from this weeks video and update the glossary, along with evidence that you have acted upon the feedback I have given on at least 1 of your mock exam papers.

State Crimes

Are states guilty of crimes on large or small levels?  Here we look at different types of state crimes and why they may be committed, as well as the difficulties faced by sociologists and criminologists in defining if a crime has taken place.

Please ensure that you have your self assessed essay - if you did not collect it then check your emails for a scanned copy and the mark criteria.  We will be looking at these at the start of the next lesson.

Green Crime

Week 2 of the globalisation of crime topic.  This week we will look at green crimes and those involved in this 'criminal' activity.

I now have access to a student gmail account through the college, and have shared the folder via email with you all (please accept invitation) which holds the PPT's for the blog videos in.  I have also included a link below, but it should now be easier to access the PPT before watching the video.

Please ensure that you have your essays with you for class - any issues accessing videos, PPTs or with the essays I expect you to tell me in advance of the class.
