Ok, just to confirm, Law and Society is no longer on the syllabus, correct? They replaced it with Human Rights?

Thank you. I am glad I am not the only one who thought world order was so hard. Reading stuff about it makes me think I am reading another language or something. So, how does it go? Crime Term 1, Human Rights Term 2, Option 1 Term 3 and Option 2 Term 4?

I can tell you one thing; I hope to god I don't do world Order. I find that the hardest of them all. How did your teacher decide which to do? Did he/she take a vote out of the class?

Yup. Btw, which two options did you last year?

Or you could also say, like In a failure of the law to enforce maximum security for criminals who committed a sordid crime is demonstrated in this case of So and So vs. So and So (2000). Here, an sexual child molester easily escaped due to limited security and devastated the lives of many...

Ok, for example "The point of negligence by the law to address the issue of child abuse is clearly demonstrated in the case of So and So vs. So and So (1994). In this case, So and so filed an complaint to police after So and So's child had been abused by her husband So and So. There were...

I guess if you were dealing with consumer law, I forgot the name of the case, but it was significant in that it introduced the new law that manafacturers owed a duty of care to their consumers. That's how that case was significant. You mean like that?

Yeah, but then you also said that you cannot just state them, you have to say what point of law they represent. And I am not sure what you mean by that.

So how many LCMS should I be used in each parragraph to get a Band 6?

I think when asked to make an 25 mark essay or 15 mark, I'm going to plan it before I write. Plan it, such as Introduction Cases/Legislation/Media Reports I will use Body (Parragraphs to make argument) Conclusion Good idea?

Can I just say I really appreciate all the time you have took to rate my answers. I think I have just about run out of questions at this point. I think I may be expectating too much of myself at this point as I am only in Year 11 and I am not supposed to be attemtping HSC questions. Do you agree?

What about this 3 marker for crime? "What are the elements of a crime?" For a crime to have occurred; there must be a combination of actus rea and mens rea. Actus rea refers to the actual act. For example, robbing a bank. Mens rea refers to the mind/state of the offender. The offender must...

I try to use an few of each in each parragraph, but I don't exactly how much you need. Do you need lots? Should it all be about that? Should it be heavily based on cases/media reports/legislation? I don't know how to use them and that's my problem. Maybe if I could see a Band 6 essay and how it...

Btw, are you sure my answers are good? Do you think the BOS (who mark the external exam) would like them..?

Yes, I am aware that capital punishment doesn't exist anymore. As for the rest, I just wrote about the reliability of victim's statements, and I used a few cases. And I even made an example of an victim's statement in quotes about a mother who was tortured. The next method I talked was...

Okay, I didn't even know that was an american case, but I thought they can be American cases in there too? Despite that, what did you think of the rest of it?

I am absolutely heartbroken. I had wrote up an essay on "Assess the effectiveness of legal measures in the criminal justice system" and then when I clicked it told me I wasn't logged in, and now all my work is gone:( This is the only thing I had safed on a Microsoft World Document was this...

Ok, I will be mindful of the fact next time. It is really is important it seems. I don't think I realized how important it is until recently.

Do I have to use cases/media reports/legislation for all these types of questions except the "Outline" ones??

How about "Thoroughly examine the purposes of punishment." Out of 12 marks. The main purposes of punishment are deterrence, retribution, Rehabilitation and Incapacitation. Deterrence is to discourage people from committing crimes in the future. They are two types of deterrence; they are...
