At the end of this unit
most pupils: know about the effects of crime on different members of the community. They use statistics to investigate local crime figures and identify why actual crime figures differ from figures for fear of crime. They identify some of the causes and effects of youth crime and know some of the ways in which the local authority responds to it. They know how the criminal justice system operates, what happens to young offenders, and what support is available to victims and offenders. Through investigation, they gain an appreciation of the complexity of the legal system and identify the roles of different individuals and organisations within it, including sources of help and support for young offenders. They present their findings as part of a group presentation or display.
some pupils have not made so much progress and: recognise that crimes such as car crime have an impact on different members of the community. They have some understanding of what happens to young offenders and know who supports them.
some pupils have progressed further and: know how crime affects different members of the local and national community. They use statistics to identify the extent of crime locally, and recognise the different causes and effects of youth crime. They explore how the local authority responds to youth crime and suggest ways of contributing to activities in the Community Plan, including through the formation of Youth Action Groups. They give detailed examples of what happens to young offenders, how the criminal justice system operates, and who is involved at different stages of the prosecution process. Through investigation, they identify the role of different organisations in the criminal justice system, including sources of advice and support for those affected by crime. They communicate their findings to others orally and in writing.
