3. You be the Judge
As a class, you are going to watch the case of Robert J, a 15 year old who has been found guilty of robbing a mobile phone and money off a smaller boy.
As a group, you are going to role play the sentencing of this crime.
You will need:
An account from the victim to say how the crime affected them
An account from the criminal that explains why he did it and how he understands the seriousness of what he has done
The prosecuting lawyer – what they think the criminal should be given
The Judges verdict – what sentence they judge has given and why
Watch the Teen Crime case on You Be the Judge – watch up to where it explains the sentencing options. Students can either role play this in front of the class or they can film it on phones/equipment and send it to you.
