INTRODUCTION
• Welcome to the second module in
criminal law. I trust that you will
enjoy the study of this module.
• Unlike the first module (criminal
law A) which dealt with the
general principals of criminal law,
this module deals mainly with the
specific crimes.
• We will look into their degree of
seriousness, type of punishment
imposed for each and the form of
culpability required for each.
• The crimes will be discussed in
four broad categories namely:
o Crimes against the state and
the administration of justice;
o Those against the community;
o Those against a person and
o Those against property.
