3.2. Read the text and answer the question: What are the most common orders after divorce?

PROPERTY RIGHTS AFTER DIVORCE

The court has extensive powers to make financial orders within the context of
divorce proceedings, and also has more limited powers regarding financial arrangements for
unmarried couples. The following notes relate to divorce proceedings.
The petitioner or the respondent in divorce proceedings may apply for ancillary
relief, which is the name given to the financial provision orders which the court is entitled to
make. The most common orders which the court may make include:
— Property adjustment order: an order affecting the rights of ownership of property
of either spouse, or both, e.g. the transfer of the matrimonial home to one party or the other.
— Periodical payments order: an order that one party must pay a regular sum of
money to the other party.
— Pension sharing order: an order providing for one party to claim a share of the
other party's pension entitlement.
— Lump sum order: an order for the payment of a specified sum of money.
— Order for sale of property.
— Consent order: usually in the case of an 'amicable' divorce.
When considering which orders should be made, the court takes into account a range
of factors. These include: the income and earning capacity of the parties; the financial needs
and obligations of each party; the standard of living enjoyed by the family during the
marriage; the age of each party and the length of the marriage; any disabilities from which
either party may suffer; and the contributions made by each party during the marriage. The
conduct of the parties does not usually have a bearing on the nature of the financial
settlement.

Reading
4.2. Read the text and answer the question:
Does your definition of criminal law correspond to one in the text?

CRIMINAL LAW
(1). Criminal Law, or penal law, involves prosecution by the government of a person
for an act that has been classified as a crime. It is the body of statutory and common law that
deals with crime and the legal punishment of criminal offenses. Criminal punishment,
depending on the offense and jurisdiction, may include execution, loss of liberty,
government supervision (parole or probation), or fines. There are some archetypal crimes,
like murder, but the acts that are forbidden are not wholly consistent between different
criminal codes, and even within a particular code lines may be blurred as civil infractions
may give rise also to criminal consequences. Criminal law typically is enforced by the
government, unlike the civil law, which may be enforced by private parties.
(2). Criminal law is distinctive for the uniquely serious potential consequences of
failure to abide by its rules. Every crime is composed of criminal elements. Capital
punishment may be imposed in some jurisdictions for the most serious crimes. Physical or
corporal punishment may be imposed such as whipping or caning, although these
punishments are prohibited in much of the world. Individuals may be incarcerated in prison
or jail in a variety of conditions depending on the jurisdiction. Confinement may be solitary.
Length of incarceration may vary from a day to life. Government supervision may be
imposed, including house arrest, and convicts may be required to conform to particularized
guidelines as part of a parole or probation regimen. Fines also may be imposed, seizing
money or property from a person convicted of a crime.
(3). Many laws are enforced by threat of criminal punishment, and their particulars
may vary widely from place to place. The entire universe of criminal law is too vast to
intelligently catalog. There are elements of the crime, which make a basic set of common
law principles regarding criminal liability, that constitute the essential elements to prove that
the defendant committed a crime under the law. They are: mental state (Mens rea), conduct
(Actus reus), concurrence, causation.
The jury must be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed
each element of the particular crime charged before deciding on a guilty verdict. The
component parts that make up any particular crime vary depending on the crime.
(4). The criminal law generally prohibits undesirable acts. Thus, proof of a crime
requires proof of some act. Scholars label this the requirement of an actus reus or guilty
act. Some crimes — particularly modern regulatory offenses — require no more, and they
are known as strict liability offenses. Nevertheless, because of the potentially severe
consequences of criminal conviction, judges at common law also sought proof of an intent
to do some bad thing, the mens rea or guilty mind. As to crimes of which both actus reus
and mens rea are requirements, judges have concluded that the elements must be present at
 precisely the same moment and it is not enough that they occurred sequentially at different
times.

4.3. Match headings (A-D) to the parts of the text (1-4).

A. Crime and punishments.
B. Proofs of a crime.
C. Criminal Law definition.
D. Elements of the criminal law.

4.4. True, false or not given.

1. Criminal law includes both crime classifications and punishment for them.
2. Legal punishment doesn’t depend on a specific criminal code.
3. Punishment for a crime differs as to the court decision only.
4. Criminal punishment is defined as to the gravity of its potential consequences.
5. Criminal law is an area too difficult to be defined.
6. Any proof of a crime requires both proof of some act and proof of an intention.
7. Even some elements of the crime allow the jury to decide on a guilty verdict.

Reading
 5.2. Read the text and answer the question: What is crime?
CRIME
Crime in Britain. Crime has increased in Britain, as in many countries, since the
early 1950s, though recently the number of crimes reported to the police has fallen. In 1996
there were 9700 crimes for every 100 000 people, of which the police solved 27%. Over 60
000 people are in prison for crimes they have committed.
People living in inner city and urban areas are the ones most likely to be victims of
crime. Burglary (stealing from a house) is twice as likely there as elsewhere. Theft (stealing
goods or property) is the commonest crime, though it fell by 14% in the period 1992-95. Car
theft is relatively common: in 1995 almost one in five car owners had their car stolen, or had
property stolen from inside it. Criminal damage or vandalism is an increasing problem.
Offences that involve loss or damage to property account for 92% of all crime.
The number of violent crimes is increasing. Murders and different types of assault
(violent attack) are usually widely reported by the media. The number of rape cases reported
to the police went up by 50% between 1988 and 1992. Robbery (taking property from a
person by force) and mugging (attacking someone in the street and stealing their property)
also increased significantly. Racially-motivated attacks and crimes against children,
especially sexual abuse and paedophilia (sexual acts on children), arouse public anger and
concern about moral standards.
In 1995 guns were used in 13000 crimes in England and Wales. The killing of a class
of schoolchildren at Dunblane, Scotland in 1996 greatly increased public feeling against
people being allowed to own guns and resulted in two Acts of Parliament banning public
ownership of handguns. Since 1996 there have also been restrictions on the manufacture of
some types of knives. It is now illegal to sell sharp-bladed knives to people under 16.

5.3. True or false.

1. In Britain the number of crimes increases every year.

2. Now in Britain there are more than 59000 people in prison for crimes they have committed.
3. In 1995 car theft reduced.
4. Media rarely inform the country about the number of violent crimes.
5. Jo sell sharp bladed knifes to people under 16 is new legal in Britain.
6.

5.4. Write down appropriate penalties for these crimes.

1. mugging

5. shoplifting
6. murder
7. drink driving
