The Changes in Crime and Punishment in Schools
Abstract
I chose this hypothesis because crime and punishment has changed a lot
and I want to see how much it has changed and the pupils’ attitudes
towards it.
The areas I hope to examine are the changes in crime and punishment in
schools, how people get punished and what they did to receive that
punishment and also the attitude the pupils have towards the
punishment.
The sociological issues involved are:

punishment.
Sexism-Are there different punishments given because of different
sexes.
Crime rates in schools.

punishments given and the reasons why the punishment was given.

www.nettlesworth.durham.sch.uk/time/victorian/vschool.html. The main
conclusions of this article are that children were scared of their
teachers because they were very strict. The reasons for the came were
rude conduct, leaving the playground without permission, sulkiness,
answering back, missing Sunday prayers, throwing ink pellets and being
late. Pupils got the dunce hat for not learning quickly enough.
This is relevant to my enquiry because I have found out how the
children got punished, what they got punished for and how different it
was from today. (See sheet 1).
The second context I have used is www.statistics.gov.uk department for
education and skills. The main conclusions of this article show us
that the most extreme punishment that is used today, expulsion, is
given to boys much more than girls. This could be a form of sexism.
This is relevant to me enquiry as it shows us how boys and girls are
