Purposes of campaigns for change
There are many campaigns for change, with a range of subjects and aims or purposes
that are desired by people. Many relate to a change in law or policy. As required by
this AC, a range of campaigns must be compared, which means that similarities and
differences must be considered. Select campaigns that interest you or are easy to
understand. To ensure a range of relevant campaigns is selected, it is suggested that a
minimum of five should be studied. However, this depends on the detail provided. The
more campaigns you include the more opportunity you will have to include
comparisons.
Some campaign suggestions are listed below, but remember that these are suggestions
only, as any appropriate campaign can be selected for comparison in the controlled
assessment and at this stage does not have to relate to a crime as a comparison of
campaigns; however, their methods and other features are required:
• Sarah’s law (child sex offence disclosure scheme)
• Clare’s law (disclosure about domestic abuse)
• Helen’s law (murderer kept in jail if fails to disclose location of body)
• Campaign to abolish the rule against double jeopardy for murder
• Bobby Turnbull’s campaign regarding gun licensing
• anti-smoking campaigns
• abortion campaigns
• Brexit
• Lillian’s law (drug-driving laws).
Consider some of the campaigns to gain ideas on how they can be compared.

area she would never have consented to her daughter being left to play in the local
