The aim of the lesson today is to complete the Gender and Crime work and to ensure you have a summary of this topic. 

The booklet can be found as usual in the resources are but is also below.  

Your task today (you can do this in pairs) is to find out about one of these famous female criminals.  Karen Matthews, Maxine Carr and Myra Hindley.  Now choose one of these and apply the theories we have learnt to their case to consider how people reacted to them.  You will need to apply the chivalry thesis, and criticisms of the chivalry thesis showing that women are actually treated more harshly when they deviate from gender norms.  Examine whether their case challenges the 'sex role theory' and whether their crims supports the liberation thesis.   Write something up however you like and be ready to present to us and tell us what you have learnt on Monday.
