A) [FONT=新細明體]Two types of crime committed in the scenario are:[/FONT]
[FONT=新細明體]-Offences against person [to be specific, Homicide and Assault][/FONT]
[FONT=新細明體]-Economic Offence [to be specific Property Offence (Break and enter)[/FONT]

[FONT=新細明體]Two other types of crime are:[/FONT]
[FONT=新細明體]-Offences against the state: Treason, sedition, riots and assassination.[/FONT]
[FONT=新細明體]-Victimless crime: e.g. illegal drug use [homosexuality (intercourse) was considered a victimless crime but it was decriminalized totally from Australia after the Toonen v. Australia case (can’t remember the year maybe 1994). [/FONT]

B) [FONT=新細明體]Sources of criminal law are mainly statute law and common law. [I guess the constitution is also responsible because it provides the Constitutional separation of power which defines law making abilities e.g. residual power, exclusive power and concurrent power.][/FONT]
[FONT=新細明體]-Statute law: Laws made by parliament, in NSW, most criminal acts are found in Crimes Act 1990; which lists offences and prescribes maximum penalties. [There are other statutes as well e.g. Summary offences Act 1988 (NSW)][/FONT]
[FONT=新細明體]-Common law: is of court made law based on the Doctrine of precedent. The courts also play a role in interpreting statutes.[/FONT]

C) [FONT=新細明體]Factors affecting criminal behaviours include:[/FONT]
[FONT=新細明體]-Social[/FONT]
[FONT=新細明體]-Economic[/FONT]
[FONT=新細明體]-Genetic[/FONT]
[FONT=新細明體]-Political[/FONT]
[FONT=新細明體]-Self-interest[/FONT]

[FONT=新細明體]In the scenario Jim [I assume he is a man by his name] attributes to the genetic theory in that males are more likely to commit criminal acts due to the Y chromosome especially in males with a XYY arrangement. Jim being an unemployed is a social factor, he may be looked down by society which leads to his criminal behaviour. Being unemployed is also a economic factor, due to his low economic status he may find it necessary to rob others of their wealth.[/FONT]

D) [FONT=新細明體]The basic NSW court structure is:[/FONT]
[FONT=新細明體]Local Courts-->[/FONT][FONT=新細明體]District Courts-->[/FONT][FONT=新細明體]Supreme Court of NSW [other courts do exist e.g. children’s court] [/FONT]

[FONT=新細明體]Local court: is presided by a magistrate and deals with summary offences [not so serious]. Its other purpose is to conduct committal hearings that involve cases where a person has been charged with an indictable offence. The magistrate must establish a prima facie [reasonable] case. If a prima facie case does not exist the magistrate can order the charges to be dropped.[/FONT]

[FONT=新細明體]District court: are presided by judges and the court hear all indictable offences [apart from murder, attempted murder, treason, serious sexual assault and kidnapping]. Criminal cases are usually heard by a judge and jury. It also hear appeals from local courts.[/FONT]

[FONT=新細明體]Supreme Court of NSW: it hears the most serious indictable offences as well as hearing appeals from lower courts.[/FONT]

[FONT=新細明體]In the scenario, I believe Jim will have to go through the local courts first for a committal hearing to establish a prima facie case before moving on to the Supreme Court. This is due to the severity of his crime [homicide, assault and break and enter etc][/FONT]

[FONT=新細明體]Hope that helped. [/FONT]
