Which unit corresponds to Crime and Punishment, as an externally assessed unit?

• A. Unit 1
• B. Unit 2
• C. Unit 3
• D. Unit 4

Answer: (D)

The topic of Crime and Punishment is placed in the externally assessed unit because it covers broad knowledge of how the criminal justice system operates and how punishment is applied and debated. This kind of content is well-suited to an external exam or externally marked task, which tests your ability to explain and evaluate policy, practice, and outcomes across policing, courts, sentencing, prisons, and community sanctions.

In contrast, internal units typically focus on coursework or tasks completed within the course under teacher assessment. Since this area is designed to be assessed externally to demonstrate your overall understanding of the system and its impact, it belongs to the externally assessed unit.
