WORD COUNT
Writing requires skill and being able to write within a specified word limit is an essential component of professional and academic work. Reading and writing critically are fundamental skills which demonstrate an understanding and an ability to make judgements and solve problems, hence why only 10% of a word count should be direct quotes. That is, if the word count is 1500 words only 150 of those words should be direct quotes. Word counts provide students with an indication of the amount of detail and work required for each assessment item.
What is included in a word count?
Essentially, all text within an assessment item from the introduction through to the conclusion is counted in the word count. This includes all in-text citations, direct quotes and headings. The word count does not include the following:
Title page
Reference list
Appendices
Tables
Figures and legends
Word Limit: 2000 words (1000 per answer).
Instructions: Please answer TWO of the FOUR questions provided.
Submissions MUST NOT exceed the maximum word length. Footnotes and bibliography are not included in the word count.
All questions carry equal marks.
Please be sure that in your exam answers any verbatim quotation or close paraphrasing of sources (including the core textbook and lecture transcripts) is properly identified and attributed. Verbatim quotes must be in .. with a source and page number attribution (using OSCOLA). Close paraphrasing must be identified with a source and page number attribution. Failing to do so will amount to poor academic practice and may amount to academic misconduct. For further information, see the Undergraduate Students Handbook for information on plagiarism.
1. Ben used to be an ardent Reds FC supporter and had their team logo tattooed on his right arm. However Reds FC have performed terribly in the league and received so many red cards that Ben has developed a very deep hatred of the team. It is so bad that he now wants his arm taken off. He approaches his neighbour, Samir, who he knows was a renowned surgeon in his home country although hes not permitted to work in the UK. Ben invites Samir over to his house and then puts forward the plan. Ben has already sterilised a set of knives and brought clean towels, needles and thread. He says to Samir, take my arm off or Ill hurt your wife. In reality Ben actually has no intention to hurt Samirs wife. Samir hesitates but loves his wife very much so he decides to take a couple of Valium tablets and a shot of whisky to steady his nerves, and proceeds. Samir does a very careful job. At the same time, Bens daughter Kylie (16) films the whole procedure, planning to put it FlipFlop, a popular social media app.
Advise Ben, Samir and Kylie.
2. Annie and Dave meet on a dating app. They decide to meet at the Horse & Lamb, a local pub thats closed because of the pandemic. Here they hope to have some privacy and if there is some beer left in the pub, they plan to drink it. They enter the pub through the back door and make their way to the bar. They dont find any beer but they do find a couple of bottles of wine, which they decide to drink. Feeling jolly through the wine, they decide to have sex. Dave says to Annie, I want to have sex with you, but only if youre on the contraceptive pill. Annie says she is indeed on the pill, and they have sex. In fact, Annie isnt on the pill but just hopes she will be OK this one time.
Advise Annie and Dave.
3. The case of R v Gnango [2011] UKSC 59 illustrates the courts struggle to maintain a clear separation between principal offender and accomplice.
Discuss.
4. The cases of Harris [2013] EWCA Crim 223 and Taj [2018] EWCA Crim 1743 muddy the waters of the otherwise clear prior fault intoxication rules.
Discuss.
