OCR A-level Sociology Paper 3 (H580/03) - 14th June 2023 [Exam Chat]

I’m so glad it’s over, I thought the paper went well, wasn’t as good as paper 2 but still liked it. What did everyone write for the crime and deviance 40 marker? I thought it was so vague with it being on socialisation and linked it to socialisation in education with the labelling theory and also spoke about social class in family, linking it to poverty and that but honestly feel like I just rambled a lot for it.

Omg I'm so glad it's done, never going to have to think about sociology ever again!!!! Well done my guys! You made it, you should all be proud!

For the 40 marker I wrote about The New Right, Smart arguing boys have less social control from parents so more likely to commit crime, adler arguing liberalism leads to women having less social control/socialisation so they are more likely to commit crime (ladettes as example), and right realists arguing people lacking one of the four social bonds are more likely to commit crime. Idk if they are correct but logically they make sense to me😅 any opinions?

Thanks for the feedback guys! What did everyone write about for the question on police-recorded crime figures?

I used functionalists and Right realists + left realist for the a01. For my a03 i argued with interactionists in relation to crime being selective and flawed such as Chambliss

nooo i talked about the advantages and disadvantages of police recorded crime will i get a zero ?? i thought that’s what the question asked us ??

Do the arguments have to be linked to a theoretical perspective like interactionist, right realism etc.? Because I wrote about things like they are not accurate as institutional racism exist in the criminal justice system and talked about macpherson report, etc. I think I also talked about police discretion but I didn't particularly link to a theoretical perspective. Do you guys thinks its a problem?
