Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this unit students will cover subject matter relating to 'organised' crime in the domestic context and 'international' crimes in a global context. These categories of crime can be described as 'extra-ordinary' and pose significant difficulties for traditional law enforcement models and in terms of co-operative arrangements between jurisdictions. Students examine how States (within Australia and internationally) are developing new legislative (and other) strategies to overcome jurisdictional and political difficulties in responding to these forms of crime. Students will examine the genealogy, structure and jurisdiction of the new International Criminal Court in relation to universal crimes such as genocide, acts against humanity and war crimes. Students also consider implications of international developments in these areas for Australia. In conclusion, students will compare common law, non-common law and international 'models' of criminal investigation, prosecution and adjudication.
