The second module is an introduction to Criminal Law in the context of assault offences and civil law in the context of the tort of negligence. The A2 course is also comprised of two modules both of which focus on Criminal Law. The first looks at certain offences against other people such as murder manslaughter and assault and the second looks at offences against property such as theft robbery and burglary. Some defences such as intoxication self-defence insanity and mistake are considered in both modules. The second module also looks at the relationship of the Law to concepts such as morality and justice and uses material considered earlier in the course to examine these topics.
