Criminal Charges Task Cards | Legal Term Summaries | For Law or Social Study

This set of printable cards offers a summary for 50 different criminal charges, helping students of law, social studies or even ELA character analysis to understand criminal behavior in legal terms.

Each card features a term commonly used in criminal law, along with a brief and easy-to-understand definition. With this set, you can quickly and easily familiarize yourself with a wide range of charges, from Aiding and Abetting to Vandalism.

Please note that these definitions are broad descriptions of the crimes themselves, and not the legal process or sentences as these can vary across the US, Canada, UK and Australia. The editable PowerPoint included allows you to tailor this resource for more precision.

Includes:

• 50 editable slides - adapt the plain font text or add information pertaining to your state
• 50 full PDF pages - one for each charge
• 26 PDF pages - two cards per page
• 15 PDF pages - four cards per page
• 50 PNG files - one for each charge - add to your classroom resources as needed

Please note that this pack includes 14 cards that are connected to more sensitive topics, such as S. assault and the degrees of murder. These are provided as separate PDFs and PNGs within the folders so that you can select any suitable for your teaching or avoid them if appropriate.
