ИСТИНА

Watching video episodes dealing with criminal behavior can be very informative and effective while teaching students gaining Master s degree in law (the group of criminal procedure). The series ‘You be the Judge gives a better understanding of how offenders are sentenced in England and Wales. Eight episodes based on real events are available on the site of Sentencing Council. Typical criminal offences of murder, manslaughter, threatening behavior, teen crime, vandalism, mugging, drug dealing and burglary are presented. Before the viewer is invited into the courtroom of the Magistrates court, the Crown court or the Youth court the facts of the offence are given. Either it is possible to watch the illegal act as it happened and realize what crime was committed or the police officer interviews the offender or the victim and via their evidence the events are reconstructed.
