Difficult Crime and Law Questions

Int Explain, in detail, why some people believe that prisoners should always serve their full sentence and why others believe that some prisoners can be released early from prison. (8 marks) Serve full sentence Need to punish offenders Keeps streets safer for longer Early release seen as a soft option Do the crime pay the time Justice for victims Early release encourages re-offending Early release Prisons are overcrowded Speed up rehabilitation Alternatives to prison are cheaper Return prisoners to their families Most prisoners who are released early are low risk offenders Encourages good behaviour

Int – Describe, in detail, the ways in which the Children’s Hearing System in Scotland tries to help some young people. (6 marks) Targets both offending behaviour and welfare concerns Safe environment for the child to discuss issues and problems Provides impartial voluntary panel to make decisions Input from various agencies eg police, social work, school, parents Tries to deal with root causes of problems Power to allocate social workers to monitor situations or remove at risk children from home Referral to secure accommodation Referral to court in certain circumstances.

Int – Explain, in detail, why in some areas community policing is the best way to tackle crime, while in others the use of CCTV cameras is better. (6 marks) Community Policing In residential areas where the police can get to know the residents and local young people. People feel safer in their communities knowing there are police on the beat. Young people may respond to community initiatives and be less likely to vandalise/get involved in anti-social behaviour. People may not want CCTV cameras in their local communities.

Int – Explain, in detail, why in some areas community policing is the best way to tackle crime, while in others the use of CCTV cameras is better. (6 marks) CCTV Cameras In shopping centres/High Streets where shoplifting and pick-pocketing is a problem. In areas where recording the entrances and exits to facilities will help to identify those who have committed crimes. Too expensive to police such large areas. A police presence may not be desirable.
