Discretion is vital as it gives all parties in the criminal justice system the right to arrest, the right to issue cautions and warnings, right to fine, and the right to use proffesional judgement. It also lets a judge, jury and a police officer adapt to different circumstances. Through a common...

Can you give me some examples of legal measures in the criminal justice system in acheiving justice? I can only think of sentencing, victim's statements (is this one?), discretion of the judge, jury, police, etc. Any other examples?

I want to ask; will I need to know anything from Year 11 course for Year 12? Because to me, they seem to be completely different, and I find the concepts in Yr 12 rather simple.

Also mark this one out of 4. "Identify TWO types of international crime, and provide an example of each type." Two types of international crime are crimes against the international community, and transnational crime. Crimes against the international community are crimes commited by a...

I was going to write that, but I didn't know what's the difference between Legal Aid and Legal Representation, so I didn't want to run the risk of getting it wrong. Do you think I am improving my writing; in terms of informal language, and not overloading too many words in one sentence?

Mark this 3 marker. "Outline the features of legal aid." Legal aid, including legal representation is designed to ensure that all people who come before the law, have the right to a fair trial and a solid defense. The aim of legal aid is to remove inequality from the legal system. The group...

How many assessments and tests do you usually get in Term 1 of Year 12, (Yeah, I mean next term, Term 4 Year 11 basically.) Does it start of lightly or just gets straight into it?

So do you think me attempting HSC questions now is a good preperation for next term or am I just burning myself out since I won't exactly know what's required to get the top marks?

All humanities subjects are heavy on the content, especially Economics and Modern. I do Adv English, Advanced Maths, Legal, Economics, and Physics and Chem. You completed your HSC last year, correct? How much stress was it and how a big of a step was it from Yr 11?

Same. It's probably because Economics is much harder. What UNI course do you do if you don't mind me asking?

Yeah, and I also remembered to have too many words in one sentence. Btw, do you also mark responses for Economics? Because I can see in your signature, you have that in. I do Economics too.

Also, mark this 6 mark one "Outline the criminal process from a crime being reported to a sentence being given." I already did this, but this time I am describing the whole thing. When someone from the community witnesses a crime, it is up to them to use discretion if they choose to report...

To be honest, I don't even pay attention to my writing style most of the time, because I didn't know they deduct marks for that. I am so used to typing long sentences, and I don't even notice I am doing it, and also I type incredibly fast so I can't really fathom how long the sentence is...

Mark this 4 marker from crime. "Outline ONE method of situational crime prevention and ONE method of social crime prevention." My answer: Situational crime prevention is a method to prevent a crime from taking place on the location/scene of the crime where the criminal is...

Um, I don't have high expectations, just around 70ish. Don't know what uni course yet.

I just made another 1000+ word essay on "Effectiveness of the Law in responding to issues concerning family members?" This is an 25 mark essay, but give me a grade out of 15. The main cotemporary issues concerning family members are problems such as marriage, separation and divorce, custody...

What do you think I will score externally next year if I work on the things you said? I'm just curious to see what kind of impression I give you. I also want to know where I stand exactly.

I got some info from an website like the cost, and the penalties. Btw, how well does Legal Studies scale? If I get 80 raw mark in the externals, is that okay or will I get scaled down?

Okay, so I just made a 1000+ word essay on "How do the types of penalties available achieve justice for society, individuals and the offender. Give me a grade out of 15. The types of penalties that are imposed on people who have been accused of committing a crime in the Australian legal...

Also, I have realized that they have changed the format for Legal this year; as instead of Law and Society, there are now 15 crime MC, and 5 on human rights, then long/short responses on human rights, followed by a 15 mark crime essay and then the option essays. I saw this from the specimen...
