What is crime?

6 lessons

Threads

  • Rights, justice and the law

Description

Pupils consider what crime is, what causes criminal behaviour and how communities can help prevent crime. They also explore whether youth crime is really as serious as the media portrays.

Pupils learn about what crime is because they are beginning to understand the rules and laws that help govern society. Understanding what constitutes a crime and its impact is crucial for their sense of justice and responsibility. This knowledge helps them recognize the importance of law, the consequences of crime, and the role of the justice system in protecting citizens including young people and maintaining order.
