It covers crime, criminal procedures, sentencing options, and the protections in place for victims, the accused, and the community.  \nWork Requirement  \nStudents research a topical legal issue selected from a local, national or international context. Their research is compiled into a formal report that focuses on the legal and political aspects of their chosen topic.  \nHow you’ll be assessed:  \nCommon types of internal assessments are:  \n• assignments  \n• short answer responses  \n• In-class essays  \nTo be successful in this subject, students will require:  \n• Strong reading and literacy skills for assignments and essays  \n• Focus on time management and planning  \n• Strong research and writing skills are essential  \nThe external assessment for this subject is a 3 hour exam. The dates for external exams in November are non-negotiable.  \nCompletion of Work Policy  \nAssessment due dates are provided in the Program of Learning and on Canvas. Work must be submitted by the due date unless an approved extension has been granted. Unapproved late submissions will incur penalties as outlined in the Completion of Work Policy. Students needing extensions should contact their subject teacher before the due date with valid reasons, such as illness or unforeseen circumstances.  \nFor more details refer to the Launceston College: Completion of Work Policy.  \nACADEMIC INTEGRITY  \nAll senior secondary students in Tasmania are expected to uphold academic integrity, meaning they complete their work honestly and fairly. This includes properly referencing any ideas, images, or information borrowed from others, allowing teachers to distinguish between original and sourced content.  \nAssignments will be submitted through Canvas, email, hard copy as directed in the task sheet. For more details, refer to the Launceston College: Academic Integrity Policy.  \nREFERENCING  \nThe APA referencing system is recommended for Legal Studies. The standards for criterion 7 state that a student must:  \n• clearly differentiates the information, images, ideas and words of others from the learner’s own.  \n• follows referencing conventions and methodologies with a high degree of accuracy.  \n• creates appropriate, well-structured reference lists/bibliographies.  \nCOURSE DOCUMENT  \nThe TASC website provides considerable information about the course.
