1. Family

Types of family

The nuclear and extended family, reconstituted/step-family, single-parent family and same sex family. The influence of social stratification and ethnicity on family diversity. The functions of the family and the ‘loss of functions’ debate. Alternatives to the family, including other types of households (e.g. one-person household, shared

household) and communes. Cross-cultural comparisons and variations in marriage including monogamy, serial monogamy,

polygamy and polyandry. Alternatives to marriage, such as cohabitation and civil partnerships. Explanations of changing trends in marriage and divorce.

Changes in family roles

Conjugal roles, maternal and paternal roles, roles of children and members of the wider family, including grandparents

Changes in family relationships and conjugal roles, including symmetrical family debate and issues relating to patriarchy and gender equality within the family.

Variations in family relationships reflecting the influences of social stratification and ethnicity. The negative aspects of family life, including domestic violence, gender inequality, child abuse and

neglect

Evaluation of Patterns and Trends of Crime

Measurements of crime and their strengths and limitations: official stat Patterns and explanations of crime by age, class, gender and ethnicity Policing and law enforcement, including policing strategies, e.g. targeting surveillance, crime prevention Crime related to new technologies e.g. the internet Dealing with crime community sentencing, punishment, prison, rehabilitation, other deterrent

Explanation of crime and deviance theories
