Your analysis of the theft case: some highlights....
Almost raised their hand to say that theft was committed based on the definition. You mostly agreed the young person should be punished
The majority of the room said that the young person will certainly reoffend if he went to prison
Most of you decided that social work and focus on rehabilitation would be a more suitable punishment
You also mentioned that punishments for the crime is important so he learns right from wrong
Some of you had considered the factors outlined in the History perspective as reasons why he may have committed the crime
Humans are influenced by Social, Historical and Economical factors however they still have the free will to act in a certain way.
Others who may have grown up in the same environment may not make the same immoral decision
We hope you enjoyed working through the theft case! With the definitions in law, the influences in History, the moral questions in Criminology and the abstract concepts in Philosophy; we certainly all got thinking about Crime, responsibility, punishment and empathy!
Can you think of some other cases that can be divided into a Law, Crimonology, History and Philosophy perspective? Have a go at creating some similar slides and creating some moral dilemmas!
