If an officer saw a crime occur, and did nothing to arrest the offender, or assist the victim , is that an omission, or a dereliction of duty ?
What if the victim was not informed of specific information regarding their family or other situation, and by NOT knowing, other horrific crimes occured ? Can that be considered an omission ?
very helpful
Thankyou sir
very helpful. Love it. Thanks.
Maybe could add reforms in such as the Law Commission Report proposed you should only be guilty for not acting if it was a 'serious crime' They also wanted the Miller case to be put into an Act of Parliament but this hasn't happened so it seems Parliament are happy with the current law.
Very good!
