, LAWS6106 Criminal Law and Procedure: Semester 1 2018
This course introduces students to the sources of law which define general principles of
criminal responsibility, and to a selection of substantive criminal offences and criminal
defences as well as to criminal procedure. The substantive offences include assault,
sexual assault, murder, manslaughter, and property offences, whilst the criminal defences
include provocation and self-defence. Students will be exposed to common law sources as
well as legislation and criminal codes where relevant. Key legal theories of the criminal law
will also be introduced. The lecture program is supported by interactive seminars that
enable students both to engage with the application of legal principles to set fact scenarios
and to consider issues of policy and law reform related to the substantive and procedural
law that they are studying.
