criminal law dissertation help (rape)!

Hi

I am looking for advice regarding my dissertation the area I have chosen to focus it on is The law of rape and the boundaries of consent. However I am finding difficulty coming up with a title for my dissertation. Could anyone help in giving me any title ideas.

I came up with this
Defining Consent: Has the sexual offences (Scotland) Act 2009 improved the law of rape by bringing clarity in regards to the area of consent.

However I am not too sure about it, I don't know if I am narrowing down what I can write about with this title.

I also thought about a simple title such as

The Role of consent in defining rape

however not sure if this is too broad?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks :smile:

This may not be terribly helpful, but I usually find the best thing is to write the paper first, then the title :tongue: . Decide what you're going to research in broad terms, and what it is you hope to discover or establish (in conclusion-neutral terms, ofc... - some might refer to this as the research question/statement, but I tend to find it's not really coherent enough to be a question or statement at this stage) and then start researching. I usually find that as I research a few more specific, narrower directions pop up as interesting, and then I can pick one and go - and only then start thinking of a snappy title!

This if, of course, just how I do it, and there are many other methods, any of which you might prefer. But it's worth considering.
