About general defences mind maps
GoConqr OriginalGeneral Defences mind maps
These maps let you follow individual defences through their branches. The Duress maps include threats and circumstances, while Insanity covers the M’Naghten Rules, defect of reason and disease of the mind. Other maps look at automatism, intoxication, consent and diminished responsibility.
Choose a route through the maps
Start with Insanity if you want to see how its points fit together, then compare it with Automatism, which distinguishes insane and non-insane automatism. For a different route, use a Duress map to review threats and circumstances. Several maps share the same title, so check their branches to find the one that suits your revision.
After reading a map, recall its main branches without looking, then return to any points you missed. Switch to flashcards on the unit page when you want to revisit cases, or to a quiz when you want to test your recall in another format. Choose a defence and explore its maps.
Frequently asked questions
Which mind map could I start with?
Insanity is a useful starting point if you want to see the M’Naghten Rules alongside defect of reason and disease of the mind. You could then look at Automatism to compare its branches on insane and non-insane automatism. Both are listed on this page.
What topics do the mind maps cover?
The maps cover general defences including duress, insanity, automatism and intoxication. You can also find maps on consent, diminished responsibility, loss of control and ignorance of the law. Some titles appear more than once, giving you different maps to explore on the same topic.
