  1. 1.Describe and explain the differences between normative and relativistic theories of criminology 2.Clearly identify how theories of criminology has developed over time 3. Apply criminological theory to postmodern crime Lesson Overview A-Build a sociological argument comparing normative and relativistic views of crime. Apply a minimum of 6 criminological theories of postmodern crimes in order to justify why they occur. Apply sociological crime theory in a chronological order. B-Apply the normative and relativistic theories of crime to present day situations. Use a minimum of 5 criminological theories of postmodern crime to justify why they nay have occurred. All tasks throughout the lesson are differentiated. Groupings of students are based upon individual skill and knowledge level for that task. Grade A students are used as an advisor and SMSC link in groupings. VCOP’s are personalised to ensure they assist students in exactly the way required. A grade students access Collins for AQA material as starting point, B grade students use CGP material as starting point for information. All students have access to Sociological dictionary. Students work in differentiated groups to encourage student led learning. No teacher questioning, only students questioning allowed. Students debate who may become criminal, how? Why? Key Terms: VCOP Starter Social Bonds, Normative, Relativist, Right Realist, Left Realist, Underclass, Panopticon, Strain theory, Status Frustration, Techniques of neutralisation, Hegemony

  15. Test your knowledge… Exam Q…21 Marks!! Item A Labelling theory explains how actions become labelled as criminal or deviant in society. This is a micro-approach that looks at how individuals construct society, based on their interactions with each other. Labelling theorists argue that an action is criminal only when society views it as criminal and that crime, therefore, is a social construction. Criminality exists only because of the laws constructed by society; deviance exists only because of the norms constructed by society. Deviant or criminal individuals are labelled when their actions are discovered and provoke a reaction from society. However, this reaction will take differing forms, depending on how the nature of the action is perceived. Using material from Item A and elsewhere, assess the usefulness of labelling theory in explaining crime and deviance. (21 marks)
