AQA Crime &amp; Deviance Tuesday

missrosiex

no way a new topic like globalisation,dont stress the deviant world out 'uzzy'!

these are what im focusing on,since this is the last time you can sit this exam its got to be one of these-(last year so many predictions involving these so bound to be last time round)
ethnicity
gender
age
suicide

obviously if you got more time do more,but idreally just say focus on that :smile:

xx good luck x

The thing is though, it's not just Crime and Deviance, it's Theory and Methods too.

I can honestly feel a fail/resit coming on :getmecoat:

sociology can be regarded as scientific.

Honestly, that's far too much to explain and for you to remember now. If I knew myself I'd try and help you but I missed a hell of a lot of classes this year and I don't know myself.

Anyone have a clue whats gonna come up for the essay question?

Left and Right realism came up last time so I doubt it will be that again

revise new right realism because they could possibly ask a question social policies :eek:

I kinda messed up question 1 because I didn't revise globalisation and ethnicity and crime in enough detail :frown:

I thought question 3 was great!! and question 2 was also quite nice.
How did you find it?
