I'm doing OCR psychology crime in less than two weeks and the studies just aren't staying in my head.. there's so many topics and studies and you have to learn stuff like the sample for all of them.. it's really hard! I've been making revision cards.. any one got any other revision suggestions? I'm just hoping a topic I like comes up! what topics are you all hoping for if you're doing crime? x x x x

I'm pretty hot on Morality & Crime (I think that's criminal thinking patterns)... that would be ok to do. I also like Punishments and Prevention methods, but I don;t think that will come up.

I agree, it is quite hard. But don't worry too hard about the samples etc. You don;t have to know exactly how many people took part - for example, Farrington's longitudinal study where he found common characteristics of boys who commit crimes... you would only need to know it was on approx. 400 boys from a working class background in the UK - the examiners will know which study you're on about, as long as you talk about the actual study and it's findings in detail - just don't get the psychologist's name wrong!
