Document Summary
Outline: title, e. g. battered women syndrome: a flawed psychological concept. Identifies argument not topic: draft introduction, double spaced, 2/3 of a page, thesis. Introduce topic summary of argument: doesn"t have to be simple, can be more than one sentence, don"t use i think, believe feel. I argue that: point form plan, map of essay, structure of the essay, logical flow of how you will make the argument. Infanticide as a technical defence in murder charge that reduced murder to manslaughter. 1948, in canada introduced as a charge: crown will introduce it, not lesser included offence to murder, women can say oh no i murdered the child , crown wouldn"t be able to prove infanticide. If crown charges infanticide they have to process mental disturbance: double jeopardy. If your charge w/ infanticide and prove facts of homicide then can convict for infanticide even though you haven"t proved that.
