Essay due Friday 8th February

Item B
Some sociologists define globalisation as an increasing interconnectedness
in the world. Globalisation is multi-causal, and there are a number of key
processes and events that may have aided its development, including:
 technological innovation
 global crises
 the end of the Cold War
 the growth of transnational organisations
 the expansion of free trade.
Views on the impact of globalisation on crime vary. Globalisation has led to
changes in the opportunities to commit crime. This has meant increases in
some types of crime such as fraud, and new crimes such as cyber crime.

Using material from Item B and elsewhere, assess the view that the process of
globalisation has led to changes in both the amount of crime and the types of crime
committed. (21 marks)

BBC News report

Please watch the link below when off the school site.  It is a BBC report on the rape victim who died in India  just after Christmas.  It also shows the public outcry and protest it generated.  This is a good example of how the media can over empathise a crime and distort the reality of crime

Cover work Friday 11th January

Massive apologies for missing your second lesson this week but on the bright side this will save you a homework task.

You need to write an answer to the exam question below which we planned before the holidays.  You should all have the question paper and mark scheme but if not they can be found at the links below.  Please complete within the lesson and leave on Mrs Underwood's desk.  For the three of you who submitted plans, I have looked at these and they are pretty good.  They are marked and attached to the pin board above my desk in H3.  Please could one of you collect these.

Work hard :)

Exam question
