Learning Outcomes  All (Grade E/D): students will understand the term anti-social behaviour  Most (Grade C/B): students will understand the conditions of an ASBO  Few (Grade A/A*): students will consider appropriate alternative punishments

Starter  Below you will see 10 different types of anti-social behaviour.  Look at them carefully and then list them under in the order from the worst type of behaviour to the least offensive. Use a diamond 9 to do this and make sure you have a copy in your books. Verbal Abuse Under age drinking Noise nuisance Joy riding Begging Assault Graffiti Vandalism Substance abuse Threatening behaviour

There are many factors which lead young people to break the law. Can you think of any of them? Why do young people break the law?

Activity: Victim or Victimless?  Look at the crimes below. Decide on whether these crimes have a victim or not.  Doing a paper round at age 11  Shouting racist abuse  Being sold alcohol at a pub aged 16  Breaking into cars  Picking a fight  Speeding  Drink driving  Taking drugs

There’s no such thing as a victimless crime!  Taking drugs is often seen as a “Victimless Crime”.  Whilst you have taken the drug it is unlikely that anybody else will be directly affected by your actions. Potentially there is a victim... you!  Now look at the crimes you labelled as victimless- have you changed your mind now?

In England and Wales, the law says that a child over the age of ten should know the difference between right and wrong, and can therefore be held legally responsible for his or her actions. This means that a ten year old child can be convicted of a crime and face punishment. Discuss in pairs: 1.Do you think this is fair? 2.Think back to when you were ten. Were you aware of the consequences of your actions at this age? Criminal responsibility

Anti-Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs)  ASBOs are extremely serious orders granted by the courts.  They lay down certain conditions to stop the person from causing any further anti social behaviour  Children over the age of 10 can be made the subject of an ASBO.  ASBOs don’t have reporting restrictions. This means that photographs of the offender and details of what they are not allowed to do can be publicised anywhere, such as local newspapers.  If the conditions are breached- young offenders can be sentenced to a young offenders institution

Find out the answers to these questions. Behaviour Orders and warnings: What are they? How are they used? Youth Courts: what cases are dealt with here? What is the maximum prison sentence? : Crown Court: What youth crimes go to crown court? Why do you think this is? Sentencing Youth Offenders: What are the aims of sentencing? Give three examples of punishments. Attendance centre orders: What is this an alternative to? Who can get one of these? What happens at the centres?
