As part of the OCR Law A-level course, criminal topics are evaluated and the defence of consent is a prime example. This essay is constructed so the AO1 (knowledge objective) is highlighted in yellow and the AO3 (evaluation) is highlighted in purple. This is a perfect structure for an essay and has achieved top-level marks.
