Hey dudes would i be wrong for listing the following for the exam today??

Summary Offence:
Public Indecency, Speeding in a vehicle.

Indictable Offence:
Armed Robbery, Murder?

 

[fleck27]

No thats pretty much what I put too, its right.

 

[knots&crosses]

I was so careful for this one i said
Summary: Public order offences, Public drunkeness
Indictable: offences against persons: sexual assault.

I was just unsure where they wanted an example of a type of crime, or an explicit example if anyine gets what i mean...

summary: speeding (traffic offence)
indictable: murder (offence against the person)

It asked for an OFFENCE.... not a TYPE of crime. So I'd say you're safe with just saying speeding/murder.
I actually described each offence eg:
Summary: Speeding, the act of traveling faster than the speed limit on a public road.
Indictable: Murder, the act of deliberately taking one's life.

is drink driving where no one gets harmed a summary offence?

 

[swathard]

summary offence = a less serious offence, e.g. indecent language, petty theft, drink driving, speeding.
indictable offence = very serious offences, e.g. murder, rape, child abuse, sexual assault.

does that answer your question, lol ?

guys i wrote swearing in public for summary which is right..but for indictable i wrote homocide????? is that right or did i need to say murder cause homocide can be like self-defence which is not a crime!! i think i got the EASIEST q in the exam wrong

I should think youll be fine... homocide encompasses murder and all the others, i dont think markers would be thinking about self-defence. They most likely will give you the mark, unless they are marking it hard, and the good thing is it was only a one mark question. If you did stuff it up, at least its this not another...

I gave exactly the same examples, but didn't outline what type of offence it was, they didnt really ask and it was one mark each. I did say something about how summary is less serious while indictable is serious though in each.
