This short unit explores patterns of criminal activity within the local area. It offers pupils a different perspective on the study of settlement, especially land use and layout.
Pupils learn through discussion, research and fieldwork where crime occurs locally and beyond. They also investigate possible causes, impacts and management of the issue. The unit focuses on:
- classification of crime types
- location of crime in the local area
- variations in crime regionally, nationally and internationally
- strategies used to combat the problem
There are opportunities to link with citizenship when developing pupils' sense of right and wrong and exploring some of the issues underpinning our society.
This unit is expected to take 4-7 hours.
