‫Welcome back to another Alt's vocabulary lesson, this time looking at top language and vocabulary for
‫law and order in a similar way to the last lesson, space, law and order is definitely something that
‫you could read about in an article for adults reading.

‫Let's take a look at the vocabulary list here.

‫Kareem.
‫Fraud.
‫Confession.
‫Capital punishment.
‫Justice, discrimination and rehabilitation, eight pieces of language and vocabulary that you really
‫should be able to understand and use in order to prep for your child's test.
‫Let's take a look at the first piece of vocabulary, which is punishment as a punishment is an action
‫taken when somebody has done something wrong.
‫So that punishment is the effect of somebody doing something that they shouldn't have done.
‫The level of punishment in many countries is very different for types of crimes.
‫To stop future criminals, stronger punishments should be handed out.
‫And yes, we use this this verb here handed out, you hand out punishments or handed out punishments.
‫OK, and up next, we have crime in many countries, in all countries.
‫In fact, there are lots of rules.
‫And if you break those rules, you have committed a crime.
‫In city centres, crime is a major concern for most families and pensioners.
‫There are many different types of crime, but some are considered worse than others crime.
‫Here we have fraud.
‫Fraud is a type of crime, fraud is tricking someone to steal their possessions or their money.
‫Online fraud has become a huge problem for Internet users in the last decade, and this is a common
‫type of fraud and a collocation online fraud, people often stealing your your bank details online or
‫also it could be stealing your identity to.
‫When using ATM machines, it's important to be careful about fraud.
‫And here we have a confession, a confession is someone saying they have done something wrong?
‫It is somebody admitting they have committed a crime.
‫If a criminal gives an honest confession, their sentence could be reduced.
‫And we have highlighted sentence, so when a criminal is given prison time, that is a sentence, an
‫amount of time, they must stay in prison.
‫OK, next up in court, it is difficult to get a confession.
‫That is the truth.
‫Confession.
‫Now we have capital punishment.
‫This is a noun, which is a type of punishment and justice handed out through some courts across the
‫world, and it is also known as the death penalty for very severe crimes.
‫People are given capital punishment and are killed.
‫In my opinion, capital punishment is too much for any crime.
‫Since the 1970s, capital punishment was banned in many countries.
‫Justice.
‫Justice is the act of writing something that was wrong.
‫Fixing a crime that somebody has committed.
‫For citizens to feel safe, justice must be quick and transparent.
‫And again, here is an extra piece of vocabulary transparent, transparent, justice, transparent means
‫you can see through something.
‫When we talk about transparent justice, it means that it is not corrupt and everybody understands exactly
‫what is happening.
‫Transparent justice.
‫Moving on, 50 percent of adults felt that justice in their home countries was adequately dealt out.
‫And here we have a type of crime of sorts, discrimination, it is labeling somebody as something,
‫for example, a female and a foreign citizen and treating them poorly because of this.
‫Over a third of women felt discrimination at their workplace.
‫Discrimination is a major issue that many countries are trying to solve.
‫And we have now rehabilitation, so in especially Western countries, when criminals are sent to jail
‫or prison, they are given a program of rehabilitation, re education and giving extra skills in the
‫hope that when they finish that prison sentence, they are rehabilitated and can become positive active
‫members of society.
‫Criminals often find rehabilitation difficult whilst in prison.
‫It's highly important to offer rehabilitation to prisoners in order to help them develop and grow rehabilitation,
‫trying to help prisoners to change their lives.
‫OK, that is some key vocabulary for law and order.
‫I hope you found some of this useful.
‫And as I always do, try and use it in practicing for the ILT test.
