Title: Essay on Crime Prevention
Contributor: Blueprint 2000 Lesson Activities, developed by Dr. James Croteau, Leon County Schools and Rhonda Flanagan, FSU Center for the Study of Teaching and Learning
Materials: Crime reports from a newspaper
Activities:
  1. Class lists types of crimes prevalent in society today and develops a consensus on the top five most serious crimes. Class brainstorms prevention techniques and alternative punitive measures that might be useful in controlling crime.

  2. Given three case scenarios where a different crime has been committed, small groups will establish a possible motive, a prevention technique that could have been used, and a different consequence than one that is usually given for that crime. Groups will share with each other and receive feedback on their thinking.

  3. Students write an essay on ways to control crime in their neighborhood.
