I'm trying to find ideas to write about but I'm pretty stuck I keep changing topics so any help would be appreciated on how law reflects moral and ethical standards in regards to purpose of punishment and age of criminal responsibility or rights of children

Hey! So wait, just to clarify, do you need help coming up with stuff for a specific practice question? Or do you need a question to practice with? ;D

Cool cool, so:

With regard to purpose of punishment - You should consider some specific case studies to illustrate your points. Consider the punishments and what purpose they appear to take - Is it strict or lenient? Is it targeted at deterring the offender? Protecting the victim? The approach taken for punishment will ultimately reflect the values of society through how harshly a crime is punished. R v Loveridge and R v Singh could be two good cases to examine ;D

For Age of Criminal Responsibility/Children - Similar premise. Does society value a lenient/welfare approach to juvenile justice? OR does it focus instead on punishment/detterence/retribution? Again, the approach taken will reflect societal values. The Three Tier System is a must mention here (cases are a little tough to come by in this area, but if you can find them, they would work well just as above!)

Just a bit of a brainstorm, hope it helps ;D
