Lecture One: Introduction

Lecture Five: Video: You're Not Splitting up my Family

No notes for this week, of course, but a really intersting and unique documentary. It charts the story of a family: a father, his mother, and his two twin sons. The son's mother had died 4 years prior to the start of the film, which looks at the various interventions made into the two sons lives, mainly by social services. This is interesting, but what I would like you to think about, and chart in some way, is the way the two boys move from one intervention to another, how their personal relationships change and affect them, and increasingly from one form of problematic behaviour to another. What are the influences on their lives (good and bad): could anything have been done differently for them: what were there own roles in determining the pathways they took as they grew up?

Try and make some notes, and we will pick up on these themes in the seminar in the week beginning 29th October.

Lecture Six: Pathways into, and out of, Crime

This lecture will pick up on some of the themes of last week's video, and will look at the research into "pathways". The links below will be useful as a starting point.
