Predictions for OCR Criminal Law 1 & 2

Just wondering what people think will come up tomorrow on these papers.
I feel strict liability and attempts, as well as duress and automatism are pretty safe bets this year.

PROBLEM!!! How the hell does necessity fit in with the spec...whats the deal; there hasnt been an essay Q on any of the papers i have got goin bk to 2003. does that mean they won't ask one on it or that it is really likely to come up because it hasn't before? really confuzzled (maybe you have to include it with duress...i really don't know please help :confused:

)

p.s. i really think insanity or automatism likely to come up, duress and consent came up in jan x

Necessity can come up in duress, its not a huge topic so you should revise it.

Does anyone fancy testing eachother over msn?

Woop!

Can burgulary or robbery come up in the scenario question?

yes they can

I think burglary and robbery are the most likely to come up in the problem question (the scenario).

In dreading these exams :frown:

I think that theres a reli high change of Offences Against a Person to come up as a scenario, and automatism, strict liability as a question homicide and theft will also be a deffo question

Anyone else think that this is one biatch of a subject to revise for?

I do History and everyone goes on about how hard/academic it is... But I really don't think it is compared to OCR A2 crim Law!

I've pretty much learnt all these in detail:
Murder and defences
Assault, ABH, GBH
Strict Liability
Duress
Automatism
Manslaughter
Intoxication
Burglary/Robbery

All the OATPA offences seem pretty common in scenarios, as well as transferred malice and intoxication.
Constructive manslaughter also seems pretty common in relation to drug-offences.

What about the rest of Crim Law 1?

What would you do if you got a choice between Recklessness and omissons, for example?

Grrr. Too much to learn.

I have the advantage of having sat CL1 already and having a reasonable C so even if i do crap in the resit for it I have an average grade.

Im struggling just taking in CL2 lol. I really feel for those who have to do well in both.
