a practice exam. <br><br>

In style with Part I of the Ospre exam our onine question and answer pages give you a choice of answers in a 'tick box' style. In the real exam which will be paper-based, you are asked to mark your answers clearly using ONLY AN HB PENCIL e.g. [A] [B] [C] [D] would mean that you have selected 'B' as the correct answer. Any mistakes must be rubbed out thoroughly. Any question that you give two answers to will automatically be marked incorrect. Note that all places, scenarios and people featured in these pages are entirely fictional, and any resemblance to real places, scenarios and people is coincidental. Readers who have any queries on these questions can email: nina.wallace@janes.com<br><br><i>References are to Blackstone's Police Manual 2005.</i><br><br>The most significant feature of the crime syllabus is, in our opinion, the material on sexual offences. Almost every aspect of it has been changed fundamentally. Even those items that appear to have changed little, such as kerb-crawling, soliciting for prostitution and indecent photographs of children, have been altered to some extent. This matter of indecent photographs now relates to those under 18 rather than just 16. Because a 16- or 17-year-old victim may be married or in a relationship, a new defence can be used by a spouse or partner who takes or possesses an indecent photograph of the victim. You should have a good grasp of some of the fundamentals of the material on sexual offences, such as the meaning of 'sexual' and 'touching', the wording relating to consent or a belief of consent, age or a belief about age, and the mental state or belief about the mental state. You should also understand the elements of the main offences - such as rape, penetration, assault, offences with children and so on. Grooming is a new offence and attracted a lot of publicity when the legislation went through Parliament. Therefore, it may be high on a question writer's hit list. <br><br></blockquote>
