Crime discussion task cards

The task cards offer different crime-related scenarios, providing students with an ethical dilemma. Students need to engage in discussion and respond to the prompts on the cards, discussing the different aspects of each scenario. They will be asked to discuss various perspectives, explain the suitable punishments for each crime and talk about ways to prevent similar crimes.
