OCR A2 LAW G153 Criminal Law 1 - June 2013

Hey I've just been told that we can use bulletpoints for question C questions and still attain full marks? Is this true?

Is theft going to come up? Or is it going to be robbery or burglary???!!

It could be any. If it's a Q2/Q3, there's usually a mention of all 3 of them in a scenario. If it's Q1, it may specify one (some predictions are robbery/burglary since it's been theft alone the past 2 times it's been on). Honestly, I'd learn all 3 of them if I were you



They're not the same - but they pretty much are. Necessity is defined as "taking the lesser evil" or something like that, so it has lots of overlap with by circumstance. Your order is correct too I think- duress first, then necessity. Don't treat circumstances and necessity as the same though. Say there's an overlap then give examples of how there's an overlap- e.g dudley v stephens shows necessity isn't a defence to murder (same with circumstance)



I haven't even revised voluntary manslaughter but I'll take a shot at it in case it helps you at all I think the case you're referring to that would help is Tandy? D is a mother, thinks her daughter is having an affair with her husband so kills daughter. D is dependent on beer/wine, but she drank vodka on the day of killing...

If she drank beer/wine, she would've had a defence of DR since it caused her depression and is classed as involuntary since she's dependent on it (long term beer/wine alcoholic). However, drinking vodka was different, had a different effect (she isn't addicted to it, so isn't dependent on this), and she should've known this so was reckless in her actions, so intoxication defence wasn't allowed. She's convicted because she isn't dependent on vodka. She could've had a defence if she was drinking beer/wine on the day... Does this make sense to you?

Edit: I should probably stop answering so many questions and go do an essay or something again...

I think you should revise all, remember for both robbery and burglary all 5 elements of theft need to be established.
Breaking them down its
Robbery- Theft With Force
Burglary- Theft With Trespass

So you'll need to talk about theft things such as 'dishonestly appropriate property belonging to another with the intention to permanently deprive the other of it.'

Yeah, I just don't understand the general law behind it haha. But thank you

I am so stressed, got loads to go through. If I get the bare minimum I need to 72% for an A I will be very happy! What does everyone need in this exam?

Do correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't burglary traspass with an intent to commit an ulterior offence in s9(2) - theft, Gbh, criminal damage?
I.e you can still be guilty of burglary without stealing anything.

89/120 UMS I think, not sure what that equates to in raw marks

Very similar to me, I need 86, yours is probably about 75%. I wish I had just gained a couple more marks in other exams. I got 100/120 in G151 and then did terrible on special studies because I ran out of time and got a B 58/80. :/

I need 83 UMS, does anyone know what this is in raw marks

for problem questions:

if for instance the question is about OAPA, but theres no evidence of GBH, we dont have to include that on the AO1 points, do we ? thats what our teacher said

Just had an economics exam today, I'm going To go over attempts, causation, duress, theft, burglary and robbery, OAP and insanity/automatism.

Reckon that's okay if I need 60/120 UMS?
