*bump* to the crime study thread

what are the 5 defences and explain each?

probably too late since cssa legal trial's tomorrow

1. Mental Illness: the defence of insanity. If someone is held as insane, they cannot be held responsible for their actions.

2. Duress: Can be used if the defendant claims the criminal act was committed under genuine threat or intimidation.

3. Self Defence: the lawful use of reasonable force as a defence generally in cases of manslaughter.

4. Necessity This defence can be used where the defendent commited the crime to avoid a particular outcome e.g. the act was done in order to avoid the infliction of something worser to happen (something like that)

5. Consent: not an absolute and justifiable defence but it can be used if proven that the accused truly believed that the victim has consented to the act.

 

[Jago]

dont forget mistake/accident

and the partial defences provocation and substantial impairment of responsibility

 

[melsc]

choose a form of punishment and evaluate it in terms of meeting its objectives

 

[Jago]

off the top of my head:

fine:
adv - quick, source of revenue, disincentive to commit
disad - descriminate against poorer people, may not deter/rehabilitate

summary: good for summary offences, not so effective for big crimes and the rich.

Name another one

 

[Samie_Loo]

home detention- where the offender has commited a crime but the judge feels it is not seriously enough to warrant a goal sentence.

summary - good in some aspects. though often foces the offender onto family which in turn can lead to many family related problems eg. domestic violence

 

[goan_crazy]

Warning/Caution

adv: It gives people a second chance
dis: ppl may ignore it or not take it seriously

summary: good for minors and for first summary offences.

Post Sentencing Decisions:
*decisions made regarding offenders sentence after sentencing
--- security classification (minimum/medium/maximum security prisons)
--- Protective Custody (offender placed in special unit in gaol if they've committed a crime such as sexual assault of child, horrendous crimes etc)
--- Parole (allowing offender to be released from gaol on conditions set by Parole Board prior to completion of sentence)

Question-
Compare the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court:

Compare the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court:

Gah, I dont know that well
ICC was set up in 1999. Deals with criminal matters focused on individual crimes ie. war crimes, torture etc.
The ICJ was teh main court b4 the ICC was established.

That right?

Next question:
What are the different penalties available?

 

[babyd0llsasha]

- fines
- bonds
- probation orders
- community service orders
- home detention
- periodic detention
- imprisonment

Next Questionnnnnn = ]

Give suggestions as to what people who wish to see changes to criminal law can do

erg, is this still going? let us continue!

hmm...petition their local member to change the statute, lodge a case for something specific (create a precedent on the issue..), campaign with a NGO, sign petitions, apply to the ombudsman...thats all i can think of =S lol

anyway, question:
name the 4 parties to crime!

 

[Andrew007]

4 parties to a crime:

Principal in the first degree - actual perpetrator
Principal in the second degree - the accessory
Accessory before the fact - person who helped to plan
Accessory after the fact - protected the perpetrators or concealed evidence.

ok, now my question....

describe TWO legal measures Australian Authorites use to deal with international crimes.
