A Level Law (Criminal) Assignment 3 - Strict Liability


Task

You will be set one of the following questions:

 

1. "Strict liability offences are contrary to fundamental legal principle. The imposition of criminal liability without reference to the state of mind of an accused person can never be justified."

Consider why and in what circumstances the courts recognise the existence of crimes of strict and absolute liability.

(June 2000)

or

2. 'Strict liability must be retained. It provides social benefits which would not otherwise be obtained and the injustice caused by it is often exaggerated.' Discuss.

(June 1998)

or

3. How do the courts ascertain when the imposition of strict liability for a criminal offence is justified?

(June 1996)

or

4. "The fact that Parliament has created so many strict liability offences does not establish the necessity of their existence. Strict liability offences are only necessary if there is no other means of achieving the ends of protecting the public and enforcing the law."


Analyze this view of strict liability.

(June 1995)

or

5. In what circumstances is the imposition of strict liability for a criminal offence appropriate?

(June 1993)

or

6. Is the imposition of strict liability ever justifiable in criminal law?

(June 1991)
