Criminology is the study of the reasons why individuals commit crimes. By understanding why a person commits a crime, we can develop ways to control crime or rehabilitate the criminal. Ever thought about why different people commit different crimes? Why do some people report crime and others don’t? How much does the media influence our perception of crime? How does psychology and sociology explain crime? Students who have a keen interest in the psychology and sociology of crime will be well suited to this course.
At least 5 subjects at grade 4-9/L2P-D* including: Grade 5 in English.
There are four units to be completed which are all mandatory. Each unit is worth 25% of the overall grade. “Changing Awareness of Crime” and “Crime Scene to Courtroom” are internally assessed as controlled assessments at the end of the teaching of those units. “Criminological Theories” and “Crime and Punishment” are externally assessed in a 90-minute examination out of 75 marks. There will be three questions on each paper and will involve short and extended questions based on an applied problem-solving scenario. Students must pass all units to gain this qualification.
