About defining and classifying crime flashcards
GoConqr OriginalDefining and Classifying Crime flashcards
The decks offer different starting points for this unit. One deck covers mens rea, actus reus, causation and categories of offence. Another looks at the meaning and elements of crime, including strict liability and parties to crime. For a narrower focus, the decks on white-collar crime cover offenders, victims and public awareness.
Choose and review a deck
Start with the deck on the meaning and elements of crime if you want to review definitions alongside offence categories. Use Criminal Psychology to practise questions about types of crime and problems with measuring it. There is also a deck on the criminal investigation process, including the role of the police.
Work through a few cards, then return to the terms or questions you found difficult. If you want a visual overview, switch to a mind map on the unit page; try a quiz when you are ready for a different way to practise. Explore a deck that matches your current topic.
Frequently asked questions
Which flashcard deck should I start with?
