Criminal Law

 Criminal Law

Imagine that you have been asked to write a lecture. Your audience will be people of average intelligence, but with no specialist knowledge of the law or legal system. Your objectives are to ensure that your audience understands:

• The key requirements for criminal responsibility.
• The extent to which, if any, strict liability and inchoate offences differ from the normal requirements of a crime.
• The meaning of ‘actus reus’ and ‘mens rea’ and the extent to which they must coincide.
• The difference between objective and subjective mens rea.
• How much of a cause, of the actus reus of an offence, that a defendant must be liable for committing by commission.

When, if ever, an offender can be liable for causing an offence by failing to act
