This is what we are currently look at for Rachel, we are only one lesson in but I get the feeling I am going to enjoy this, it is already very interesting.

This link is to one of four programmes on BBC I player that Rachel and Victoria were talking about called Our Crime.
Having looked online at the Guardian there is an enormous amount of reading around this subject!!
There was a really interesting Guardian article concerning the age of criminal responsibility which is something we discussed in class. This article states that the human brain is not mature until the early to mid-twenties. However after the summer riots people aged 18 years and over were treated as adults, with the judge stating that each and everyone of them knew exactly what they were doing. On the other hand Germany sometimes choose to use the juvenile court for people aged 21 years and under as they are of the opinion that offenders up to the age of 21 years can be immature
