you would never get this as an essay question, but things you could discuss; (Positives - with regards to the discretionary powers of police, based upon the severity of crime and availability of resources - can investigate cases they feel are more indictable - within the boundaries of such laws...

Also did this question in the HSC. Threw me at first, had to leave it till the end, but answered it without much difficulty as in reality, it was a very open-ended question. Talked about the tensions involving police powers - discretionary powers eg. warrants as balancing this in providing...

Larceny is summary because it is basically taking things without returning them. If it turns out to be a large amount of cash/property stolen, and a more indictable offence, it would then come under robbery. Cheers.

Re: "Assess the effectiveness of the criminal justice system as a means of achieving Criminal trial process, you say? I like essay questions like this, because if you have a holistic understanding/snapshot of the syllabus itself, you can methodically insert the corresponding sections with which...

Out of curiosity, could someone please post the questions that were in the Human Rights sections this year, as well as the marks allocated to each questions. Cheers.
