    Section III - Options

    For consumers I did - "Why has justice for consumers been hard to achieve"? I had the underpinning idea of cost/administrative burden of courts as well as the power imbalance between impressionable consumers and unscrupulous businesses The non-statutory controls of advertising - highly...

    Section III - Options

    For family I did - "Evaluate the effectiveness of the law in achieving justice for parties involved in relationship breakdown." I started with the varying effectiveness of domestic violence - how it is stated as crime in law - battered wife syndrome - AVO's - pro-arrest policy - but also its...

    Hey how much do you think is expected of the crime essay?

    I'm really unsure too. I did 5 booklets for each of the options (consumer and family) but my writing was HUGE same, used way more case laws/media articles and legislation in options. Sounds like you know what you're doing though, whereas some of mine may have been verbal diarrhoea. I really want...

    Hey how much do you think is expected of the crime essay?

    I too wrote 3 full booklets Question I reckon wasn't too bad, but seeing words and peculiar phrasing that didn't match up with the syllabus threw a lot of people off and myself initially My argument was a little weak but I talked about; -police powers and their investigation process - also how...

    Hey what did you put for short answers: ratification of HR and sovereignty?

    ratification was a multiple choice wasn't it -like the one where Australian human rights are punishable in Australia after ratification? In terms of the 6 marker on how state sovereignty enforces human rights - Despite protecting asylum seekers from persecution, I emphasised its ineffectiveness...

    Section I - Multiple Choice

    7 is B (conspiracy to rob and robbery as it was planned and one can be charged with both) and 15 is B as the statement displays ratification has already taken place - therefore it's B

    Section I - Multiple Choice

    ^Agreed. Depends on scaling. Would have been nice to see a contemporary issue question though specifically for family and consumers. Too many tricks in this year's paper and to be honest, I don't see why they would do that.

    General Thoughts: Legal Studies

    Yep, you're link basically sums it up with a similar scenario portrayed "For example, Andy, Dan, and Alice plan a bank robbery. They 1) visit the bank first to assess security, 2) pool their money and buy a gun together, and 3) write a demand letter. All three can be charged with conspiracy to...

    Section I - Multiple Choice

    http://www.marymonson.co.uk/organised-crime.php "Every organised and well run operation requires planning and coordination of workers, and the same is the case for organised criminal activity. It is no surprise that cases involving alleged organised crime, whether they are gun running, drug...

    Section I - Multiple Choice

    Same for consumers - "Why is it hard for consumers to achieve justice" I mentioned non-statutory controls on advertising then basically followed the scaffold of the 2nd section of the syllabus - "Consumer remedies and redress" self-help state organisations - Legal Aid, OFT federal organisations...

    Section I - Multiple Choice

    Some syllabus headings you could apply eg. family - "Evaluate the effectiveness of the law assisting family memebrs affected by relationship breakdown" Straight off the syllabus on the second section i.e. simple layout domestic violence divorce and its consequences - property and children - eg...

    General Thoughts: Legal Studies

    Can I just inquire about question 7 (I already know there is discussion between options b and d) Robbery is definitely the answer. But wouldn't it be B - because there was conspiracy to rob and robbery. I mean I know conspiracy is a preliminary crime but the same rules as attempt do not apply...

    General Thoughts: Legal Studies

    ^^My reasoning exactly. B is what I put too Ratification in itself its domestically incorporating law by amending an existing law or enacting a new law to echo the words of the new treaty. Therefore, it has already been done. The "practical effect" though would be basically its consequences -...

    Section II - Core: Crime and Human Rights

    The 15 marker for crime was by far the one that threw everyone off, including myself. "Explain the tension between community interests and individual rights and freedoms within the criminal justice system." My argument was a little weak but I talked about; -police powers and their investigation...
