A complete, editable OCR A Level Law unit covering actus reus, voluntary conduct, involuntariness, state-of-affairs offences and omissions. It includes a pupil booklet, detailed teacher guide, full answers and two mapped lessons, with further practice allocated to homework and retrieval.

The unit builds on pupils’ introductory knowledge of criminal liability rather than repeating it. Pupils learn to classify external elements, select the relevant legal rule or authority and apply it accurately to unfamiliar facts.

Scenario-led application

The booklet contains numerous short scenarios that isolate particular elements of actus reus. Pupils practise distinguishing:

• conduct and consequence crimes;
• voluntary and involuntary movement;
• state-of-affairs liability and strict liability;
• legal duties and moral expectations; and
• the different sources of omissions liability.

The scenarios reduce competing issues so pupils can practise a clear application process: identify the category, state the rule or case, select the decisive fact and reach a justified conclusion. Later cumulative tasks bring the rules together.

Booklet-led and designed for participation

No PowerPoint is required. Pages can be displayed under a visualiser for live modelling, annotation, feedback and self-marking.

Short, sequenced tasks support thinking time, cold calling, simultaneous responses, guided practice and frequent checks for understanding.

Content includes:

• conduct, circumstances and consequences;
• conduct and consequence crimes;
• voluntary conduct and Hill v Baxter;
• state-of-affairs offences, Winzar and Larsonneur;
• the general rule governing omissions;
• statutory and contractual duties;
• relationship, assumed-responsibility and public-office duties;
• duties arising from creating or contributing to danger;
• Miller, Santa-Bermudez and Evans; and
• withdrawal of treatment under Airedale NHS Trust v Bland.

The booklet includes structured reading, case matching, classification exercises, application tables, comparison tasks, hinge questions, cumulative SLOP and complete answers.
