Description

In this unit pupils will study ideas of crime and how Christians and Muslims may view crime is caused. From that, they will examine different ideas of punishing crime and treating criminals focussing especially on a case study of the death penalty and ideas of forgiveness.

This unit is situated in Year 11 so pupils can use their understanding of Christian and Muslim beliefs to apply it to ideas of crime and punishment. Pupils will see how concepts of forgiveness and justice may be applied in societies today and the positions that people of different religious backgrounds may take.
