Presentation transcript:

Sociology A level and AS level at High Storrs School

Some statistics… 2 women a week die in the UK from domestic violence More black young men in prison in USA than there is in higher education 70% of the people on minimum wage are women in the UK It would take 200 years (moving at the rate at the moment) to achieve full equality in Parliament Around 22,000 children die each day due to poverty (UNICEF)

The sociologist is interested in all social behaviour – work, leisure, education, family life, politics, religion, crime and deviance etc. Sociologists are interested in WHAT behaviour there is, and WHY it is happening.

Which topics do we study? Education Family Research Methods Crime Beliefs Theory

Example… Crime and Deviance:  What types of crime are happening in the UK?  Are some crimes on the increase?  Do some crimes occur in certain cities, or parts of cities?  Who are the criminals?

Example 2 Why are there fewer women in prison? Is it because…. 1.Judges are too kind 2.Women commit less crime 3.Women are socialised with dolls and boys with guns 4.Women have too many responsibilities to risk getting caught
