What do you guys think the chance is of the stupid paper to ask 2 questions specifically for the options like one on Domestic Violence and one on care and protection? cause now im freaking out cause im only ready for basically general questions like moral + ethical standards etc
i feel like theres usually one general qn and then one specific qn

I doubt we will - my teacher and a lot of other people assume international crime and sentencing and punishment or something else
2021 HSC
‘The legal system focuses on punishing offenders rather than preventing crime.’
Assess this statement in reference to achieving justice through criminal processes and institutions.


It feel like it might actually be int crime or investigation

last years question surrounded young offenders - everything a possibility but its less likely to come up again
No last yrs question was on safety of the community but the comment was made on raising criminal age, the question itself wasn’t even on young offenders it was abt community interests

do you reckon in criminal trial process it would be ok if i talk about presumption of innocence and mention how the bail amendments infringe upon this presumption?? or is that not a good idea because then i would be talking about criminal investigation process here is my essay plan

Presumption of innocence:


Is the crux of the criminal trial process, although not protected by legislation comes from article 14 ICCPR bail is inexplicitly linked with criminal trial process due to presumption of innocence


  • Important as it ensures a person accused of a crime will be treated as being innocent until proven guilty --> people are protected from unnecessary mistreatment
  • Prosecutor has burden of proof--> pressure on police to gather compelling evidence rather then accused responsibility to prove innocence
  • amendments to the bail act to decide if a person should be held in remand--> infringes on POI--> 2013 unacceptable risk test--> 38 days later Bail amendment Act 2014 (NSW) --> added show cause test --> reversed onus of proof --> infringes upon presumption of innocence
  • Bail Amendment Act 2015 (NSW)--> accused of terrorism always needs to be held in remand
  • Ineffective as presumption of innocence is not upheld
