hi! this is a question from Jamon's legal studies notes that asks: what are the 4 ways in which crime can be classified?
Does this mean the types of offences like crimes against person, state economic offences etc?
Also, is a disadvantage to strict liability is because the (accused?) does not have a say or provide their side of the story?
Thanks
Omg I forgot I had those questions in my study notes! Best thing ever those things, really liked having the questions there to test my knowledge
Those questions will be tough because
I wrote them to jog my own memory. So half of them might not click with you, and that's okay. From memory, my thinking with that first one was:
- Summary/Indictable
- Strict Liability/Not Strict Liability
- Offences Against the Person, Economics offences, etc
- Ummm...
See, it barely clicks with
me anymore
would love for someone to try and guess what the hell I was thinking there
Yep, that's definitely a valid criticism of strict liability offences!
