About Violent and Sexual Crime and Case Studies

GoConqr Original

What the unit covers

This unit sits in the Types of Crime strand of Criminology. It focuses on violence against the person and sexual offending, with a good number of case studies alongside the theory.

  • Homicide: the flashcard deck Homicide asks who men kill, who women kill, and what confrontational and revenge homicide mean. It also covers femicide and the motivations behind female-perpetrated intimate partner homicide.
  • Sex offences: the deck Sex offences and offenders starts with an overview of the topic and the construction of the 'sex offender'. It also gives some historical context.
  • Hate crime: the mind map HATE CRIME defines hostility based on a person's sexuality or race, among other grounds. The deck CJ - hate crime looks at the legal sections involved.

Where to start

Begin with the two lead flashcard decks, Homicide and Sex offences and offenders. They give you the key terms in short, testable chunks. Then move to the mind map Homicide & Violence, which lays out types of violence and legal categories such as common assault, ABH and GBH.

If your course is organised around learning outcomes, look at the maps headed LO1 and LO3. The LO1 maps deal with criminological approaches to violence, including social learning, control balance and rational choice theory. The LO3 maps cover risk factors for intimate partner violence and sexual assault.

Case studies and wider topics

Several maps look at individual cases and offenders. These include Harold Shipman, with a typology of serial killers, the D.B Cooper Case and the one on H.H Holmes. Others cover wider topics such as Stalking, Kidnapping, Femicide, Domestic Violence and Types of Elder Abuse. Use them to test whether you can link a case to a theory.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a mind map first, then close it and take a quiz on the same theme. The quiz Ch. 7 The male serial murderer pairs well with the serial killer maps. Note what you got wrong, go back to the relevant branch, and try again a day later. The flashcards work well for definitions and legal wording.

Because the resources come from different courses, some titles are brief or personal. Skim a few before settling on the ones that match your syllabus. Pick one topic today and work through its map, deck and quiz in turn.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the flashcard decks Homicide and Sex offences and offenders. They set out the main terms and questions in short cards. Once those feel familiar, move on to the Homicide & Violence mind map, which shows how types of violence and legal categories fit together.

What do the learning outcome mind maps cover?

The LO1 maps cover criminological approaches to violence, including the types of violence and their impact on victims, social learning, control balance and rational choice theory. The LO3 maps cover theory in relation to intimate partner violence and sexual assault, including risk factors.

Are there resources on hate crime?

Yes. The HATE CRIME mind map covers the definition and the grounds of hostility or prejudice. Hate Crime Research looks at victims, including LGBT victims. The deck CJ - hate crime covers the legal sections, and another map asks how the notion of the 'other' relates to hate crime.

Are the resources free, and who made them?

Every resource here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. If you sign up for a free account, you can also save quiz scores and create your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.

Who are these resources for?

Most are aimed at university students, with a smaller share suited to school students. Teachers can use them as ready-made material for lessons or revision. Learners can practise definitions, theories and case details through flashcards, quizzes and mind maps.

What if I can't find my topic?

Look through the case study maps and the wider topic maps, such as Stalking, Kidnapping and Domestic abuse, as they may overlap with your subject. If nothing fits exactly, build your own mind map or flashcard deck from what you find and keep it for your revision.
