About Criminal Law
GoConqr OriginalWhat this page covers
The resources here follow criminal law from the basic building blocks to the way offences are punished. Several mind maps deal with the physical element of a crime, including the Actus Reus map, which separates conduct crimes, result crimes and status crimes. Others look at defences, such as C12 - Necessity defences on self defence and prevention of crime, and at offences like murder and voluntary manslaughter.
Cases, procedure and sentencing
Case law is well served by flashcards. Case Law lists decisions such as R v Howe 1987 and R v Miller 1983, and Murder Case Log works through a long run of murder cases. On procedure, the Police powers map covers questioning, searches, fingerprints and arrest, while Individual rights covers the right to silence and the right to be cautioned. For young people, Juveniles + ASBOs explains youth courts and the age of criminal responsibility. Sentencing has its own maps, including Aims of sentencing and Purpose of sanctions.
Where to start
- Open Law Unit 2 for an overview: introduction to criminal law, offences against the person, procedure and sentencing.
- Move to the Actus Reus map, then the flashcards AS Unit 2 Law: Actus Reus & Mens Rea.
- Learn the cases with Case Law and Actus Reus Case Law.
- Finish with a quiz such as Criminal Law Quiz - Reading 01 or Unit 4 - Crime and Law Enforcement.
Using maps and quizzes together
Read a map first to see how the topic fits together. Then take a quiz without looking and note what you missed. Go back to the map for those points, and use flashcards to fix the case names. Some resources point to A-level Law or HSC Legal Studies, so check that a resource matches your course before relying on it.
Where this unit sits

Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the Law Unit 2 mind map. It sets out an introduction to criminal law, offences against the person, criminal procedure and sentencing in one place. After that, the Actus Reus map is a clear next step, and you can then move on to the case flashcards.
What do the mind maps on this page cover?
There are over 50 mind maps. They cover actus reus, necessity and consent defences, murder and voluntary manslaughter, police powers, individual rights, bail, juveniles, money laundering and sentencing. Some also look at terrorism policy and the role of discretion in the criminal justice system.
Are there resources for learning cases?
Yes. Several flashcard decks list cases, including Case Law, Murder Case Log, Law case studies and Actus Reus Case Law. Names such as Miller, Dytham and Stone and Dobinson appear in them, so you can test yourself on what each case decided.
Which exams do these resources suit?
Some resources mention A-level Law, including a flashcard deck for AQA A-level Law Paper 1 Criminal Law, and others mention HSC Legal Studies. The page also holds university and professional material, so check each resource's content against your own course.
Are the resources free, and who made them?
Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account saves your quiz scores and lets you create your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
What if the topic I need is missing?
Try a nearby resource first. Topics such as intention, fault, strict liability and defences appear under different titles, so look through the list. If you still cannot find it, make your own mind map or flashcards for that topic.
