Page 3: Week 8 - Personal Safety

Last week you began to design a weight management programme for a specific character. You have completed the programme for your homework. Turn to page 29

‘Character information’ – briefly describe your character ‘4.1 Identify any suitable goals…’ – circle or tick any of the goals that are

relevant to your character ‘4.2 Outline a weight management programme…’ – staple each of the

three weight management programme hand outs together and place these in your additional evidence section. Write the AE number in the small box.

4.2 On the dotted line write… ‘see additional evidence (number)’ 4.3 Now work in pairs to review the programmes you have devised. You must

identify at least 2 good things and 2 things that could be improved or added

Your final unit should now be complete – please check to make sure

Quiz time

Fear of Crime

Page 5: Week 8 - Personal Safety

Low stats / High fear? (1.1)

If there is a relatively low risk of being a victim of a crime in the UK, why do people fear crime so much?

Media reporting including: tabloids, tv documentaries, feature films etcExperiences of crime: first-hand, anecdotalPsychological tendency: are we predisposed to be suspicious and fearful?

Page 6: Week 8 - Personal Safety

Quantifying crime statistics is notoriously difficult and fraught with political bias. More often than not the results are not accepted by the public as a true reflection of reality.

But where do the figures come from and what do they say is happening now?

Listen to this guy, and/or read the transcript:

1) Where do the stats come from?2) What do the stats say?3) Highlight 3 crime stats that could support public fear of crime (do this after watching the video)http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/crime-stats/crime-statistics/period-ending-march-2014/vid-crime-stats.html

Crime Statistics (1.2)

Page 7: Week 8 - Personal Safety

So far we have seen that the public generally have a high level of fear associated with potential crime. Governments and communities invest a great deal of money in a variety of crime prevention methods. But what are they?Use your own knowledge and the internet to produce a list of at least 10 different actions that may be taken.

Tackling crime (1.3)

Methods to reduce crime & fear of crimeClosed Circuit Television (CCTV) Lengthy sentences for violent crimesPolice & Communities Together meetings (PACT)

Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA)

Visible Police (& PCSO) patrols Targeted Police Operations (usually reported in local media)

Community Payback (CS) Use of metal detectors (knife crime)Custodial Establishments Increased street lighting

We use the words ‘risk’ and ‘risky’ on a regular basis. Risk is usually associated with negatives, and as something to be avoided at all costs. But is there more to ‘risk’?

Can risk be measured? Can caution be riskier than risk-taking? Is potential pleasure more important than potential harm?

Watch the following video featuring Professor David Spiegelhalter (aka. Professor Risk). Note down any interesting or important informationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1PtQ67urG4 Using examples of when you have taken risk, complete the table on page 16.Make sure at least one of your examples focuses on risk to your person, and at least one example focuses on risk to personal possessions.

Risk – what is it? (2.1, 2.2)

How to track additional evidence..

Number each piece of your additional evidence (AE)… (1, 2, 3, 4 and so on)

Sign each piece of AE – this is for authenticity

If your evidence is just a print off, you need to include some writing to state why you are adding it (how it meets criteria, what you have used it for)

Look at your trackers – Peach sheets, front of your workbook (You have one tracker per unit)

Look at your AE 1 and see which criteria it meets on the tracker – When you find which criteria it meets, put a 1 in the third column (Next to the letters AE)

Move on to AE 2 and repeat.. carry on until complete

Make sure all AE is in the back of your file, in number order.
