About

This Public Law And Criminal Law module at The Open University UK covers the relationship between the state and its citizens through a critical exploration of key principles in public and criminal law. You'll be introduced to constitutions in context and from various jurisdictions.

Overview

You'll cover concepts such as the rule of law, sources of law, and the courts' constitutional role in England and Wales. The mechanisms for challenge and review of the actions of public bodies are considered and the role of public international law in the domestic context. You're also introduced to criminal law and criminalisation, which includes the general principles of criminal liability and various types of offences, such as property offences, homicide and non-fatal offences against the person. Defences and their historical development are also explored, reflecting the context and limits of crime.

Your tutor will also run face-to-face and online tutorials that you are encouraged to attend. You will also be offered three, one-to-one, sessions with your tutor. 

These sessions are used to support you with your studies.We aim to provide face-to-face tutorials in a range of locations students can travel to, though we cannot guarantee availability close to where you live, in specific locations, or locations that have been used previously. Student numbers on the module, and where tutors are based, will affect the locations of where tutorials are held, and what online alternatives are provided. Recordings will typically be made available to students.
