              1. Which is most important and why?
              2. Rules are used to prevent crime and keep people safe. Breaking rules depends on the situation. For example, if your family is starving and you need to steal food.
                1. SOCIAL: The effects of society/ people, peers, friends on your views. ENVIRONMENTAL: Living environment around you, area and living place, where and how you were brought up PSYCHOLOGICAL: Your emotional/ mental state/ how you feel
                  1. Social: eg gang culture, Environmental: eg Class, Poverty Psychological: eg Mental illness, Depression, Jealousy
                  2. DIFFERENT TYPES OF CRIME
                    1. Crime against the state: committing a crime that harms the government, the economy, and leaders. Eg, treason, terrorism, benefit fraud and tax evasion
                      1. Crime against a person: Committing a crime that harms a person. Eg, assault, child neglect, murder, rape and use of illegal drugs
                        1. Crime against property: Committing a crime that harms buildings/ properties. Eg, vandalism, burglary, music piracy and arson (setting fire to buildings)
                        2. A sin is breaking a religious rule or teaching. Eg murder, Blasphemy (using a religious word in a bad way, eg God), theft, greed, jealousy, sex before marriage, exposing body parts, adultery, divorce and eating wrong foods
                        3. Punishment
                          1. AIMS - reform=to help offender become a better person eg burglary, vindication=show a law is being taken seriously eg driving twice the legal limit of alcohol, protection=for the safety of society eg handling stolen goods, reparation=to allow the offender to pay for what they've done/fresh start eg drunk and disorderly, deterrence=discourage other people and offender from committing similar crimes eg murder (USA), retribution=offer revenge for those who've suffered eg rape
                            1. PRISON: We use prison for protection, to educate and punish the offenders, for counselling
                              1. Advantages: protects society from dangerous and violent criminals, cannot commit anymore crimes, gives prisoners an opportunity to reflect on actions, punishes people by separating from loved ones, deters others who may be thinking about committing crimes. Disadvantages: prisoners can educate each other in criminal matters, re-offend when released, families suffer through no fault of their own, bitterness and to get back at society, relationships break down.
                                1. Problems after leaving: can't get a job, not enough money, trouble with insurance, addiction, no support, prison record, custody of children and relationships over.
                                  1. ELIZABETH FRY: Visited Newgate prison and was appalled at how badly prisoners get treated, so provided prisoners with basics like food, clothes and schooling.
                                  2. Prison Reform Trust: UK charity founded in 1981 and work to get prisons in better conditions, reducing unnecessary prison sentences and promoting equality and human rights in the justice system.
                                    1. RELIGIOUS RESPONSES: Christianity: Laws must be followed but everyone makes mistakes so they should be forgiven, obey the 10 commandments, offenders should be punished but humanly, Jesus is prepared to forgive others so he must be a role mode and most don't agree with the death penalty. Hindus believe the death penalty is acceptable and offenders should be punished.
                                      1. CAPITAL PUNISHMENT (THE DEATH PENALTY) - For: cannot kill again, deters criminals, shows society's is dealing with crime, the old testament taught 'a death for a death', cheaper than life imprisonment. Against: a martyr(people could look up to them), doesn't stop murder, Jesus forgave, doesn't allow forgiveness, mistakes can be made.
                                        1. The death penalty protects people, deters people from committing the crime and offers retribution/revenge for the family of the victim
