刑法簡介 - 盜竊、盜竊、搶劫等等！ （夏令營）

What is the difference between larceny (and what is larceny?) and embezzlement? Can you be charged with Receipt of Stolen Property if you didn't know it was stolen? We will explore all of this and more in an interactive and exciting way. We will be studying the common law version of these crimes as they may be different in every state or country (which we will also explore).

If you want to try me out as a teacher before committing to a Summer Camp length class, check out my Ongoing class: Law School for Teens - Weekly Class.

While this is Part 4 of my "Intro into Criminal Law" series, students can start here just as easily as Part 1, 2, or 3 and still be successful. If this topic intrigues your learner, then I suggest you start here to determine if this series is for you.

I will provide a discussion outline that has mini-case studies on it that will help students work through these concepts. I will accompany the discussion outline with a PowerPoint presentation, but this is not a lecture-based class. There may be brief points where I teach on concepts, but I will engage every student individually and in groups in working through these concepts with me, and we will work in small groups from time-to-time as well.

As this is discussion based, the class schedule will be a bit fluid. Sometimes, students will bring up interesting and relevant points that we will explore because it enhances the overall experience. Sometimes, students will understand the topics clearly, and we will move through the topics quicker than expected.

But here is the general overview of the schedule:

Day 1: Larceny and Embezzlement
- Introduction to the class and Expectations
- Larceny
- Embezzlement

Day 2: Receipt of Stolen Property and Burglary
- Receipt of Stolen Property
- Burglary

Day 3: Robbery and Arson
- Robbery
- Arson

Day 4: Put Your Knowledge to the Test!
- We will finish up any bit of the outline not yet completed 
- Work on fact patterns to check our understanding
- May also do research on state or country laws to see the difference between the elements

I could not be more excited about this class! I watched students get more curious, pay attention to detail better, and become better thinkers by going through this process. You will not be disappointed with the time spent learning this topic!
