Ocr sociology g673 crime and deviance

I was hoping if someone had a structure for the 50 markers?
And is anyone aware where I can get hold of model answers?

Heya, I'm going to put this in the sociology forum for you as you should get more responses there.

You should also check out the forum to see if there's any other threads there which might be helpful to you!

The structure for the 50 markers should be:

Brief intro outlining the general ideas of the questions, perhaps mentioning what theory links with the question best (for example, if it's a question about women being victims of crime, you'd link it to Feminism).

Then 3 paragraphs each outlining the point you're going to make with a study to back that up. The important thing with the 50 mark questions is also that you add further development, so perhaps another theorist, a statistic etc.

After each paragraph there should be an evaluative paragraph, countering the point you have just made.

Finally, a brief conclusion.

So this is how it would essentially be:
Intro
First Paragraph
1st point with a theorist
Further developed point, adding in another theorist

Evaluation of 1st paragraph

Second paragraph
2nd point with a theorist
Further development, add in another theorist or statistic to back up

Evaluation of second paragraph

Third paragraph

3rd point with a theorist
Further development

Evaluation of third paragraph

Conclusion

Sorry if that's a little confusing, it's quite hard to make it clear on here. But as long as you have evidence to back up the point you're making and developed answers with some contemporary examples if possible, you'll get the marks :smile:
