OCR LAW A2 Criminal Law 2015

Apparently if they do an essay on theft it'll be only on part of it (for example just appropriation) as theft is such a huge topic.

I'd love an essay on appropriation!

After reviewing all of the past papers since Jan 2010, I have came up with the topics I'm going to revise and learn, whilst the other ones i will disregard. I've decided to revise strict liability, theft, robbery, burglary, causation, non-fatals, involuntary ms, voluntary ms/provocation (1 of the ms always comes up), duress and attempts.Can anyone tell me if that's not enough? My research proves that knowing these topics would cover all 3 sections in the past 10 or so exams, but a 2nd opinion would be great.

Hey guys so doing section A questions for the g154 paper and I can't seem to find a linked case for Kingston?

R v Sheehan and Moore (drunken intent is still an intent)
R v Heard

For section A of the paper the predictions seem to be:
1. Consent
2. Theft
3. Strict Liability

For section B it is most likely that either theft or non-fatals will crop up as one of those two is always on section B, I haven't seen one without it yet. Im guessing non-fatals as theft was on it last year.

For section C there is also a prediction that intoxication will come up as for the past few years they have used the special study for section C. Intoxication definitely will not be in section A of the paper and the exam board have confirmed this, but it could be in either sections B or C.


Good luck everyone

It says in the special study guide there will be no questions on intoxication included in the first paper

As consent is very likely to come up as the essay, if non fatals comes up as a part B can consent still come up within the scenario? As consent is frequently paired with non-fatals in section Bs

Hi guys, I'm only just starting Criminal law (ocr) and wondered if anyone knew of any good revision books or websites that helped you a lot this year? (good luck for the exam!)

I would probably revise a couple more defences just incase! For example, consent or self-defence and if your revising duress I would revise necessity as well as they can put them in questions together. They can also include defences in section B questions with like non-fatal offences, so it would probably be best to do that. Consent is an easy one to learn with loads of evaluation points and its predicted to come up this year, nice one to get high grades! So probably wouldn't miss it out!

Oh yes I see how Sheehan and Moore could fit now, thank you!

Gallagher too?

if a question comes up in part A on just one element of theft e.g, appropriation, would you simply explain the law of just that one element for AO1 then evaluate /criticise it for AO2? im confused because if said to talk about the whole AR or MR of theft then surely you'd have to write a lot more compared to just writing about one element.

They would never ask you a question of one element. There simply isnt enough for the 50 marks available. They have asked a question on the actus reus of theft before, because theft is fairly big topic.
