In this lesson, we will be learning about the roles of people who enforce the law. We will examine what these roles entail and how technology could be used in developing the process of enforcing the law.

In this lesson, we will learn about the difference between civil and criminal law. Later in the lesson we will explore the different ways in which these laws are treated by the court systems and apply our knowledge to a case study.

In this lesson, we will explore the different types of sentences available to the courts when an offender is found guilty. We will also investigate how decisions on sentencing are carried out by the courts.

In this lesson, we will examine the Youth Court system, looking at whether or not youths should attend court. We will then look back at previous learning and reassess key questions that have arisen throughout the unit. Lastly, we will use our newly developed toolkit to contact our respective MPs and become an active citizen who campaigns for meaningful change.
