Prior Knowledge
Over the summer we recommend that you follow the news and pay particular attention to any crimes that are reported. You could start to collect examples of crimes you have seen, saving online news stories and looking at who the victims are, who the offenders are and how much media attention the crime gets.
News pages that focus on crime are a good place to explore. Examples include:
BBC crime page: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/topics/cldy2dmy748t
Guardian crime page: https://www.theguardian.com/uk/ukcrime Channel 4 news page: https://www.channel4.com/news/topic/crime
