is selling alcohol to people under the age of 18 a strict liability offence or public order offence
and is embezzlement a summary or an indictable offence
and how can I answer this question 'With reference to ONE example, explain how law reform has assisted in protecting human rights'
Embezzlement is an indictable offence, and selling alcohol to people under the age of 18 is a strict liability offence
and a public order offence. Check my knowledge on the second one, because I am only 90% sure and I can't find a source to back me up!
Okay, so the best way to answer that question would be to pick your case study/change first. What change have you observed in the law that has assisted in protecting human rights? What laws have been changed? Then, just explain what that change was,
how it protects human rights, and importantly, give evidence of this. For example, you could discuss the additions to the
Criminal Code to combat people trafficking, then use a case like
R v Tang as evidence of that law reform being succesful!
