Hello
Can someone please give me some guidance or points on how to tackle this question?
‘The differences between the defences of self defence, duress and necessity are unclear, and the law in this area is in urgent need of reform’.

What on earth are you doing? It is a reasonable question; people do law at level 2 and 3.

There is a section in the Murder, Manslaughter and Infanticide report by the law commission (2006) which could be a starting point. The law commission seem to change their opinions towards necessity and duress every couple of years, so there's loads you can look into.

It's a defence to all criminal offences bar murder. The defendant was forced, by threat of death or serious injury, to commit a criminal offence. There are questions over whether it should be used for murder- would someone who killed with a gun to their head be guilty of murder?- although ultimately is felt that in such a circumstance, what right would the defendant have to decide their right to life is greater than that of the person they were 'forced' to kill?
