Lesson Overview Objectives: 1.Describe and explain the differences between normative and relativistic theories of criminology 2.Clearly identify how theories of criminology has developed over time 3. Apply criminological theory to postmodern crime Outcomes: A-Build a sociological argument comparing normative and relativistic views of crime. Apply a minimum of 6 criminological theories of postmodern crimes in order to justify why they occur. Apply sociological crime theory in a chronological order. B-Apply the normative and relativistic theories of crime to present day situations. Use a minimum of 5 criminological theories of postmodern crime to justify why they nay have occurred. Differentiated learning : All tasks throughout the lesson are differentiated. Groupings of students are based upon individual skill and knowledge level for that task. Grade A students are used as an advisor and SMSC link in groupings. VCOP’s are personalised to ensure they assist students in exactly the way required. A grade students access Collins for AQA material as starting point, B grade students use CGP material as starting point for information. All students have access to Sociological dictionary. Literacy: Key Terms: VCOP Starter Social Bonds, Normative, Relativist, Right Realist, Left Realist, Underclass, Panopticon, Strain theory, Status Frustration, Techniques of neutralisation, Hegemony SMSC: Students work in differentiated groups to encourage student led learning. No teacher questioning, only students questioning allowed. Students debate who may become criminal, how? Why?

Abi • Which Sociological theories could we use to critique the neo-tribe view? James P Make a POINT – tell the reader what the point of your paragraph is going to be with a strong opening sentence. However, this is not enough to get the Give EVIDENCE/EXAMPLEs which support highest at A-Level and will do the grades point you have made. you no good at university! E E EXPLAIN how your example supports the point your have made. L LINKS back to the question, in the form of a closing sentence for each paragraph. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article2152254/Derby-deaths-Mick-MaireadPhilpott-charged-murdering-6-children.html Objectives: - Outcomes: - Big Question: who are laws made for?

Apply criminological theory to postmodern crime Item A Labelling theory explains how actions become labelled as criminal or deviant in society. This is a micro-approach that looks at how individuals construct society, based on their interactions with each other. Labelling theorists argue that an action is criminal only when society views it as criminal and that crime, therefore, is a social construction. Criminality exists only because of the laws constructed by society; deviance exists only because of the norms constructed by society. Deviant or criminal individuals are labelled when their actions are discovered and provoke a reaction from society. However, this reaction will take differing forms, depending on how the nature of the action is perceived. Using material from Item A and elsewhere, assess the usefulness of labelling theory in explaining crime and deviance.
