[fleck27]

First generation rights are Civil and Political Rights
-covered in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1976)
-e.g. the right to vote, universal suffrage

Second Generation rights are Cultural, Economic and Social rights
covered in the International Covenant on Cultural Economic Social Rights

i think this also covers collective rights e.g. self determination

[obimoshman1234]

A commital hearing is a hearing within the local court to firts determine if there is prima facie (a case to be heard) and secondly to what jurisdiction it resides under (which court the case will be heard in)

What are two reasons for criminal law reform? outline these?

 

[Azreil]

Changing values of society~ represented particularly in the law reform in regard to sexual assault, the values of society evolve over time and have influenced law reform in changing the criminality of certain acts, changing in mandatory (minimum/maximum) sentencing and several other areas of law reform.

Failure of existing laws~ the Wood Royal Commission and ABS statistics stating that 1/4 girls and 1/9 boys are sexually assaulted proved that the existing laws were not protecting children adequately. Law reform as a result of this aimed to protect these children in a more uniform and effective manner.

What are the elements of a crime?

 

[obimoshman1234]

3 elements of CRIME:


1. actus reus: the guilty action

2. mens rea: the intent or guilty mind

3. causation: chain of causation e.g. simon stabbed lucy who refused to be treated and died chain not broken simon guilty of murder.

what are the purposes of punishments and give examples of a punishment with such a purpose??

 

[-may-cat-]

Purpose of punishment

Rehabilitation- The punishment allows the offender to see the error in their ways and allows for the opportunity for change.
Example: Probation Order.

Retribution- The punishment fits the crime, takes into account the effect and harm the crime has caused on the individual.
Example: Imprisonment.

Deterrance- The punishment deters others (or the offender, particularly young offenders) from committing the crime, the offender is made an example of, sometimes with much media coverage.
Example: Re-intergrative shaming.


Question: Outline the criminal process from investigation to post sentencing, what role does descretion play within this process?

we were told they are not purposes of punishment, but punishments themselves. I think they are both, plus i dont trust the text book, its shit.

Assess the effectiveness of the legal system in dealing with international crime.

 

[daniel`]

That could be a pretty long answer.



International law is vastly ineffective due to the way it is enforced. With the exception of sanctions, the only way to make international law a law is to make it into domestic law.

Give two issues related to Family law, with cases and statutes for each.

 

[obimoshman1234]

That could be a pretty long answer.



International law is vastly ineffective due to the way it is enforced. With the exception of sanctions, the only way to make international law a law is to make it into domestic law.

firstly its ineffective mainly because its all on consensus so if a country doesnt want to sign or agree with it then UN cant do anything.



secondly this is suppose to be for more non essay things so pretty much crime and law and society topic probably should have said that at start seeing how not everyone does same optionals and might get stuck.

so disregarding ur uestion heres a new one
