Use the syllabus as your guide. Knowing ur syllabus is important so you know where exactly the crime question is coming from. Go through it, the dot points will be what ur paragraphs in the essay are on - select some to use (or use all of them for plans and merge some into the same paragraph - I merged sentencing factors & purposes for example)

Find LCMDI for the corresponding dot points - try to find LCMDI that overlap with other sections of crime eg. R v Skaf covers juries, appeals, sentencing, and parole. When you find cases that overlap with multiple sections of the syllabus, it makes memorising the content much easier.

Once you have that all set out, look at the themes & challenges and think about how you would adapt your lcmdi to certain questions (I did mind maps for this, id recommend) I wrote one plan for each topic and felt really prepared and confident going into the hsc for crime. Do this work now so you'll have it all done for trials, it makes life so much easier!!!

Originally i planned to do the 6 main syllabus dot points and the 6 themes for each, but then also they can ask very specific questions too like for example police powers in CJS, so then i decided to do the both the original plan i had plus an extra all those things in syllabus second column, but then i feel like thats somewhat stupid and too much, like there has to be a more efficient method but at the same time i want a perfect guide on how to go about my stuff. My plans include LCMDI and an effect which includes carebears, but each possible question i could get asked i like to plan what each body talks about. But i just feel like im being to extra and there has to be a better method because if i do do that then i will have so much to do and memorise

Not sure how much this would help, but I attempted short answers using my LCMDI and pearrjam for most of the questions stated in the syllabus. Given their individual lengths, they could constitute body paragraphs for a larger essay question on those specific topics, but I believe you're more concerned about the really specific questions they have asked in the past for crime. The method I mentioned helped me with keeping my arguments and evidence focused on the question and not digress too much with irrelevant information. As for memorisation, you would need to know your syllabus doc points, basic definitions for key concepts and terms, your LCMDIs and the analytical criteria you're using at the very least.
