Course summary

The course is split into 3 key sections: Education Theory and Methods (Paper 1), Family Households and the Media (Paper 2) and Crime and Deviance (Paper 3). The issue of social inequality is a focus for many sociological theories, for example in Unit 1 Education we consider the factors that cause the achievement gap between the social groups in terms of gender, ethnicity and social class. In Year 2 our understanding of crime is developed by applying theories such as Functionalism, Marxism and Feminism to understanding why crime happens. We will examine the criminal justice system, particularly policing practices and unfair discrimination of the poor in society.
