Expectations
Students will be expected to show an appreciation of substantive criminal law and how it
operates in practice and to critically discuss possible developments and/or deficiencies in the
topic area.
Concentration must be upon the critical discussion and not on simply copying extracts for
judgements and/or textbooks. You may of course set out extracts from judgments as a basis
for discussion and the development of your thoughts but an essay which is simply a
composite of extracts from judgments and/or text books will not attract good marks because
the question emphasises discussions and constructive criticism.
There is a word limit. That is intended to get you to streamline your answers. One of the
objectives of your programme of study is the enhancement of general transferable skills.
These skills include the ability to research, to analyse, to prioritise and to communicate ideas
and advice both orally and in writing. In real life there is a premium upon taking things step
by step and upon short and accurate advice communicated in a way that the recipient will best
understand. Marks will therefore be gained for clarity and accuracy of expression and for
practicality as well as for demonstrated understanding of the relevant principles of Criminal
Law.
