Mind maps on this page connect criminal law topics through branches. If you are studying sentencing, start with Purpose of sanctions: its branches give you a way to organize ideas such as punishment and deterrence. You can then compare it with Aims of sentencing.

For a different topic, Police powers covers matters including questioning and searches, while Individual rights looks at rights such as silence and being informed of a charge. Other maps cover necessity defences, murder and voluntary manslaughter.

Study with a map

Choose a branch and explain its main idea in your own words. Then look at the connected points and check which ones you need to study again. When you want to test your understanding without the map, switch to a quiz on the Criminal Law unit page. For terms you want to recall, try flashcards. Pick a map that matches your current topic and follow its branches.
