Can anyone help with an essay plan on assessing critically the concept of strict liability in english criminal

Answer 1

Define the meaning of strict liability

Explain the normal concepts of actus reus and mens rea in criminal law

Cite examples of strict liaiblity in criminal law

Assess relevance and importance of the principle of strict liability

For instance, you could cite the offence of using a motor vehicle without insurance - that simply requires you to drive without insurance; there is no requirement that you intended not to have insurance.

Hope that helps. Good luck
