Welcome to UGC NET Criminology (068). We will study Unit I A — Crime, deviance and the disputed label “victimless”, work through an example, and practise using the course's learning material. Paper I + Paper II Criminology specialisation. Sign in and use the study header to open your authorised course. Select this published lesson. Start Course Tutor with Auto audio on: it teaches continuously, answers a typed question, then resumes. A legal construct is a category created and applied through law. Criminal liability ordinarily requires specified conduct or omission, relevant circumstances or consequences, and whatever fault element the applicable offence requires, subject to defences and other conditions. The offence must apply to the relevant person, place and time. Worked application A-E7. A health survey identifies people needing help with drug dependence, while a police dataset records alleged unauthorised supply. Combining them into one count of "drug offenders" changes both the construct and the population. Dependence is a health status; supply is conduct requiring an applicable prohibition and proof. One person could appear in both datasets, but overlap must be established lawfully and ethically, not assumed. Separately record the health question, the alleged act and the procedural stage; do not publish identifiable treatment information to make the datasets appear complete. Ask Course Tutor: please explain this step from the example. Dependence is a health status; supply is conduct requiring an applicable prohibition and proof. Why does it follow? Add what you tried, so the explanation addresses your difficulty. Now try the source practice. A-P5. A person receives prescribed medication; another offers unauthorised pills for sale; a third seeks treatment for dependence. Why is it unsound to code all three as “drug criminals”? Pause before the answer. The source answer is: Identify what should be recorded separately. Compare your reasoning as well as the result. If your response differs, return to the worked example and identify the step that needs correction. Explain the key idea in your own words, revisit any mistaken step, then continue to the next lesson. Use Stop to end Course Tutor when you finish.
