New KS3 PoS Compatible...
Mr. Bilbie is updating this for us for 2007. Expect lots of new ideas, particularly a change in the ASSESSMENT task, and also a focus on NEIGHBOURHOODS rather than WARDS.
There have been some crimes over Summer 2007 which could (with sensitivity) be used as an example of the impact of crime on us all, and the importance of passing on any information that we may have about crimes...
Clear links with CITIZENSHIP too....
LESSON PLANNING / SCHEME OF WORK
1. Intro to Crime
Series of crimes written on flash cards. Group issued with a crime each. Have to arrange themselves in a line from the most serious to the least serious.... Kinaesthetic starter.
Most Likely To (using Geog.3 textbooks)
2. Crime
Why is it an environmental issue ?
Link to the home area. Survey of court report in local papers.
Improving a street resource from Geog.2
3. Mapping Crime
Uses 'Mapping Crime' extract from Chris Durbin series. Look at the crimes which may have occurred locally. Video available in the filing cabinet.
Extracts look at how crime can be linked to particular locations.
4. Example from local area / London - mapping
Also exercise in Geog.2 which looks at identifying a suspect based on mapping their movements, and identifying houses which could be prone to crime. Could also build in a short local FIELDTRIP in this lesson.
Look at how crime can be designed out - and how some housing estates and shopping precincts almost 'encourage' crime by their design.
5. Preventing crime through design
Designing out crime: target hardening
Designing a crime proof school / house / vehicle
Why not design your house in SKETCH UP.
6. Crime on the Web
CHICAGO CRIME is a rather groovy site which has a database of crimes. They can be plotted on a GoogleMap which has colour coded pins showing the location of crimes in Chicago.
A simpler version is available for the whole of West Yorkshire. It's the BEAT CRIME website which is produced by, and run by the West Yorkshire Police Authority.
7. Check out the OS GIS ZONE which has an excellent resource. This includes a downloadable SWF version with associated worksheets which allows you to explore crime and prioritise police resources.

Other modules are also available on other topics. I have used this successfully.
Recommend that you book into an ICT room if possible for this particular lesson.

SCHEMES OF WORK
Check out TONY CASSIDY's mini-scheme of work - this is now available on the new RADICAL GEOGRAPHY site. Need to head over to the RESOURCES section. (Not available at the moment due to site restructuring...)
Also 'Mountainman' from SLN FORUM (another GA SPC colleague) has posted his CRIME SCHEME OF WORK, which was produced in association with a number of others. Available to download from this site. (Word document)
