- Ask the class to look at the list of offences from the first activity again, considering which of the following factors might lead someone to commit each one, eg emotional immaturity, peer pressure, lack of empathy, a desire for excitement, a drug or alcohol habit. Could the offender have been affected by poverty, peer pressure or other factors? For example, shoplifting might result from peer pressure and/or a desire for excitement. Ask pupils to think of factors, positive and negative, that might stop young people committing crimes, and how effective each factor might be.
