Offences Against the Person

This topic begins to look at the variety of offences which may involve one individual causing harm to another the extent to which they end the other person's life.   This topic is interesting and grotesque at the same time as we examine human behaviour as well as the law's reaction to their acts of violence, retribution and those which show the charactistics of mental illness.

A breakdown of the topic:

a) Murder

b) Voluntary Manslaughter

c) Involuntary Manslaughter
