Official OCR A2 Criminal Law 2016 Thread

Surely the person would have comitted both S9(1)(a) and S9(1)(b) as they intended to steal and they did steal, a website I found says "in many instances the same conduct could amount to an offence under both sections but not always"

I'm not so sure now. I'll have to check with my teacher.

Thanks! did they predict section B and C at all?

I think I'm going to study in depth the likely topics then skim over the ones from last year otherwise it's just too much

What came up last year? Can't seem to access the paper.

with B there is always a property question, homicide and non-fatal aspect. i think defences are likely to come up this year. invol/vol manslaughter and/or murder almost always comes up

section C is unpredictable, it could be anything

What came up last year? Can't seem to access the paper.

Summer 2015 exam paper:

Section A: Consent
Strict Liability
Voluntary manslaughter

Section B: Theft, Burglary and robbery
Murder, attempts and intention
Automatism and insanity

Section C: Offences against the person
Involuntary manslaughter

I'm seriously not looking forward to revising strict liability.

Why?! It's possibly the nicest topic after AR I think

It's fairly straightforward, but it probably won't come up as an essay. However, SL makes very nice section C questions.

I'm pretty sure it came up in Section A in 2013 so it is due! (I'm hoping anyway aha)

It was on the 2015 paper.

Ahh really? if you was to make a prediction what would it be for this year?

It is very tricky to do any kind of predictions with OCR, for example: in Sources of Law module they tend to alter the topics each year, but Statutory Interpretation came up 3 years in a row now, so I don't know what to expect.
However, I would like to think that intoxication comes up since it was a special study last year, also I think it is possible for Attempts or Oblique intent to come up, but that's just a guess.
