A picture of crime
This activity seeks to promote a discussion on the reasons why and how the social world changes, focusing on an ever-relevant topic in society, i.e. crime. Using real data, students will have the opportunity to examine crime trends over time and the emergence of new forms of crime.
Elements that can be discussed in class vietnam rcs data also include how society needs to adapt to change, using the example of cybercrime and how new legislation needs to define new forms of crime to allow effective prosecution of them.

An activity designed to guide students to explore the social world around them. Researchers are constantly looking for new ways of capturing information about the world around us. Social scientists focus their attention on human behaviour, interactions, perceptions, attitudes, etc., searching for explanations for the good and the bad indicators with the purpose of fostering progressive social change. Surveys are one of the prime examples for the way in which social scientists attempt to understand our ever-changing society.
This activity aims to provide basic statistical notions and tools to explore social surveys, such as averages, variation, representativeness and bias.
Developing future ideas. Can you help?
We believe these resources (available here) can ignite your students’ curiosity about data. We will continue to work on ideas to make data accessible and useful at all levels. Until then, enjoy engaging in discussions about data with your students and keep your eyes peeled for new updates on resources for schools.
If you are not a fan of waiting and you have an idea you want to share with us, please drop us an email and we will see if we can make it happen.
