What are you going to do?
Firstly, we begin with cybercrime, and we’re going to check if your passwords are safe. (But don’t tell us what they are!)
Then we look at the laws for young offenders.
And finally, we couldn’t do the topic of crime without looking at the fascinating area of forensic science.
How about you?
We hope you don’t have any criminal thoughts, but if you knew the punishments for the crime, would that stop you committing a crime?
Do you think that punishments are tough enough? Or are they too tough? Do you enjoy watching crime shows on TV? If so we have good news for you! They are good for your brain.
You’ll find out why!
So put your detective head on, and let’s start!
Have fun!
Need to know
What do you need to know?

Form groups of three or four.

Discuss these questions.
Select one question you all think is interesting.
Present, as a group, the results of your discussion to your classmates.
Answer, as good as you can, questions of your classmates.

Choose from the following questions:
What do you think the most common crime in your country is?
Should police in your country be stricter or less strict?
Is your country a safe country?
Have you ever seen a crime?
