CUSIS科目資料	Description： This course examines the basis of criminal liability as it applies in Hong Kong. It seeks an understanding of crime based on the wider society by incorporating a more extended range of mandatory readings than undergraduate courses of similar length. This course is designed specifically for students at the postgraduate level who have not previously studied criminal law as it applies in a common law jurisdiction. Students will, through the adoption of a contextual approach, gain an understanding of the fundamental principles of criminal liability, general defences, and the structure and working of selected offences. Students will gain a critical understanding of crime and society and of the practical application of general principles of liability as well as developing problem-solving, writing, and theoretical skills. Topics covered include: the nature of criminal liability; general defences; inchoate crimes; participation in crime; individual and corporate responsibility; offences against the person including homicide; and property/aggravated property offences.   Learning Outcome： By the end of this course, students will be able to: • demonstrate a critical understanding of the meaning of crime and its place in society in relation to other methods of regulation and social control; • describe the fundamental principles of criminal liability; • describe selected criminal offences, their structure, basis and operational basis; • identify and solve criminal problems, and • conduct basic legal research and make formal presentations to the class.
