Crime and Deviance: Non-Sociological vs Labelling Approaches
I came across this “Approaches to Crime and Deviance” PowerPoint the other day while searching through an old hard drive (the metadata says I created it in 2003 and although that sounds about right in terms of the look-and-feel of the Presentation it may actually have been created a little later, not that this makes […]
SociologySaviour Blog
I was looking for pictures of Arron Cicoural for a new film we’re editing on Labelling Theory when I stumbled across the rather interesting SociologySaviour Blog, that unfortunately now looks as though it hasn’t been updated since mid-2016. This is something of a shame because the material it contains seems well-written and useful – although […]
Learning Tables: Education
The latest batch of Tables (again created by Miss K Elles and a couple of others) covers some of the main themes in the sociology of education. The focus is mainly on analysis and evaluation and this set of Tables is particularly text-heavy for some reasons. There’s nary a picture in sight and some Tables […]
Learning Tables: Beliefs in Society | 2
For this second batch of “Beliefs” Learning Tables the focus is, once again, on religion (although a couple of the Tables cover areas like Science and Ideology if that’s your main area of interest). The Tables were created by a variety of authors and although the basic principle is the same – present information concisely […]
Learning Tables: Beliefs in Society | 1
For some reason I’ve managed to find rather a lot (20+) of Learning Tables, put together by 5 different authors, on the topic of Beliefs in Society – something that includes both religious beliefs and a range of other types (from politics through to science), although most of the Tables featured here relate to religious […]
More Learning Tables: AS Research Methods
Today’s Table offering is everyone’s favourite revision topic (research methods in case you actually need to ask) and all of the Tables were written / assembled by Miss K Elles, except for those that weren’t. The Tables cover the major research methods plus a little bit of research methodology (positivism and interpretivism plus stuff on […]
Families and Households Learning Tables
In this set of Learning Tables (mainly created by Miss K Elles) the focus is on analysis and evaluation with a section on application left blank. Students can either add their own examples or the Tables can be used within the classroom to discuss possible applications. While the Tables are not as comprehensive as their […]
AQA Family Questions Exam Pack
Hot on the heels of the Education Questions Exam Pack comes another set of exam-style practice questions, this time for the AQA Family Unit. According to the document metadata the pack was created by Miss K Elles and it contains a selection of practice questions based around the 5 different types of question students will […]
More Crime and Deviance Learning Tables
A few days ago I did a post on Learning Tables that noted, in passing, that although the numbering system used suggested at least 14 Tables had been created for crime and deviance, I’d only managed to find 10. After a bit of detective work (which sounds a bit mysterious and a touch glamourous until […]
Sociological Santa
For all those teaching and learning crime and deviance, a Sociological Santa joke I found on Twitter (posted by Brad Koch).
