Aqa sociology unit 4 crime & deviance- january 27th 2012 !!!!!!!

thanks so mcuh thats a great help!

ohh wait, this was the question in june 2011, so the likely hood of this coming up again is like low ?

Hey, In one week what are the main topics i should revise, in order to gain an average grade. So which theories do you think i could keep renewing on each question, because obviously i have no time to revise anything else, so what would be your advice for me.=]

Ermm, i dont you should revise values and feminism.... deffo revise sociology and social policy, and sociology as a science, post modernists..

For criminal revise labelling, state crimes basically the whole of globalisation. dont revise marxist and crime because it came up last year, but obvs you need to know it briefly so you could put it as a evaluation point. do you kno what im trying to say....

And basically you know for theories, for example in the social action theories- you get parts such as ethnomethodology- and all tht crap? dont revise it all. the examiner doesnt expect us to know everything from a topic so just pick bits out. for example, learn the symbolic interationism, the labelling theory- the lookg glass self and the dramaturgical model.... and do tht for the rest to.. hope this helps. just quote again if you are unsure on anything

Why feminism, surely this is less likely to come up as it has previously been asked before. Why do you advice me to revise this? =]

And pretty much the same question for the rest of the statements you have made, why do you suggest to revise globalisation etc.? =]

But you can use marxism in other questions, can you not?
What do you think of this technique, if i revise three main topics and just apply this to whatever question comes up.?

Okay good advice bro. I will do, i'll only revise some. But that indeed is the most annoying thing, as the book contains so much info, in which is not needed, and we waste our time in cutting this out.

When did sociology as a science last come up?!

Hello, To all the people who are doing this Exam - Well firstly Goodluck and All the best! If you dont mind can i ask some questions?,

I am doing Unit 3 Religion and then after these jan exam going to do Crime and Deviance! so i would like to ask, how is the crime and deviance, topic , is it really really hard? or long ? is it boring or fun and interesting? Thank You and All the Best !

Hi this is probably a silly question...but you know the theories of crime and deviance like functionalism (Merton strain theory/Cohen status frustration/ cloward and ohlin) then the Marxist and right and left realism and the broken window theory

What Mark qu could that come up as??

Would it be the 33?????

****, i meant don't* cz theyve come up previsously lmao
because aqa dont repeat questions, and globalisation state and green crimes havent come up yet whereas marxists func and gender have if you kno what i mean... true. ive hardly revise tho man, cz i had psychology. but i doubt for criminal func and marxis will come up. however learn them cz they are good evaluation points.

i think all the crime and deviance questions are 21 markers

According to the past papers unstructured interveiws has came twice consecutively for the 15 mark question. So do you think it is risk worthy?

does anyone have any predictions for the 33 marker at the end of this exam? my teacher has predicted sociology as a science
