Why should I choose this course?

  • Some of the issues examined are:
    · What exactly is â€-murder†and what is â€-manslaughter†?
    · Why is 90% of crime committed in the UK drug-related?
    · If I use my mother†s cash point card to withdraw money for her, why am I committing an imprisonable offence?
