Principles of Criminal Law & Procedure Detailed Notes Including Case Law

Description

Detailed and clear criminal law notes that are easy to follow and understand. They are the latest notes from Semester 1 2025, with tables and diagrams to make them easy to comprehend and have coloured coordinated mens rea element (red) and actus reus element (blue) to allow greater engagement with the content. I've spent quite a lot of time ensuring they are both easy to understand but useful when answering hypothetical scenarios in tutorials, assignments, and exam questions. The notes can be used for exams as they are structured to answer exam questions with all the necessary principles, case law, and legislation. I found these to be quite helpful during exams, being able to achieve an HD for the subject. Hope you find them helpful :) The notes contained the following topics: 1. Aims of criminal law, definition and elements, classification of offences 2. Assault & Bail 3. Murder 4. Manslaughter 5. Criminal defences 6. Sexual offences 7. Theft, fraud, & other property offences 8. Attempts 9. Strict liability & Mistake 10. Investigation, arrest, & custody 11. Preliminary examination, trial appeals, & sentencing
