Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which of the following is considered a cause of crime according to religious and social perspectives studied in WJEC GCSE Religious Education?

  1. Having a strong family support network
  2. Poverty and social deprivation
  3. Completing formal education
  4. Attending regular religious worship
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — Poverty and social deprivation
Poverty and social deprivation are widely recognised causes of crime, as people may turn to illegal activity out of desperation or lack of opportunity. Regular worship, strong family support, and education are generally seen as protective factors that reduce the likelihood of criminal behaviour, not causes of it.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What does the term 'retribution' mean in the context of punishment?

  1. Making the offender suffer as a deserved consequence
  2. Deterring others from committing similar crimes
  3. Making the offender pay back what they took
  4. Helping the offender to reform their behaviour
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — Making the offender suffer as a deserved consequence
Retribution means that punishment is a deserved consequence — the offender suffers because justice demands it, not primarily to reform or deter. Paying back what was taken is reparation, helping offenders reform is rehabilitation, and discouraging others is deterrence.
