In the 18th century there were over 200 offences for which the death penalty could be given; The crimes included pickpocketing and shooting rabbits. The laws were often focused on the poor who were viewed as lazy and the cause of their own misfortune. This view faded as all people were given rights and freedoms, and the opportunity to progress in society. Eventually capital punishment remained purely for the very serious crimes of murder and treason. \newline % Row Count 13 (+ 13) {\emph{Laws against double jeopardy}} - The law regarding double jeopardy has changed over time. The law that prevented a person being tried again for the same offence was abolished for serious offences. The Court of Appeal may quash an `acquittal` and order a retrial. This change was necessary as the law at the time was inadequate to bring justice. Technology and medical knowledge also became more advanced, allowing for certainty of evidence. \newline % Row Count 22 (+ 9) {\emph{Laws concerning prostitution}} - Legal but many of the connected activities: `soliciting` in a public area, `kerb crawling`, or owning a `brothel` are illegal. Previously prostitution had a stigma attached to it and the women involved were thought to be immoral due to the idea of having sex for money. Many women became prostitutes because it provided them a source of income at a time when they had few other options for other jobs. Society's view, however, slowly changed; there are now calls for it to become decriminalised with appropriate regulation. Society changed its view due to a decline in people believing in religion and an increase in moral tolerance. \newline % Row Count 36 (+ 14) } \tn \end{tabularx} \par\addvspace{1.3em} \vfill \columnbreak \begin{tabularx}{3.833cm}{X} \SetRowColor{DarkBackground} \mymulticolumn{1}{x{3.833cm}}{\bf\textcolor{white}{{\bf{How laws change over time}} (cont)}} \tn \SetRowColor{white} \mymulticolumn{1}{x{3.833cm}}{{\emph{Vagrancy}} -% Row Count 1 (+ 1) } \tn \hhline{>{\arrayrulecolor{DarkBackground}}-} \end{tabularx} \par\addvspace{1.3em} \begin{tabularx}{3.833cm}{X} \SetRowColor{DarkBackground} \mymulticolumn{1}{x{3.833cm}}{\bf\textcolor{white}{{\bf{Variety of criminal acts}}}} \tn % Row 0 \SetRowColor{LightBackground} \mymulticolumn{1}{x{3.833cm}}{Fatal offences against the person} \tn \mymulticolumn{1}{x{3.833cm}}{\hspace*{6 px}\rule{2px}{6px}\hspace*{6 px}Murder, manslaughter} \tn % Row Count 2 (+ 2) % Row 1 \SetRowColor{white} \mymulticolumn{1}{x{3.833cm}}{Non-fatal offences against the person} \tn \mymulticolumn{1}{x{3.833cm}}{\hspace*{6 px}\rule{2px}{6px}\hspace*{6 px}Assault, battery, ABH and GBH} \tn % Row Count 4 (+ 2) % Row 2 \SetRowColor{LightBackground} \mymulticolumn{1}{x{3.833cm}}{Offences against the property} \tn \mymulticolumn{1}{x{3.833cm}}{\hspace*{6 px}\rule{2px}{6px}\hspace*{6 px}Theft, robbery, burglary} \tn % Row Count 6 (+ 2) % Row 3 \SetRowColor{white} \mymulticolumn{1}{x{3.833cm}}{Sexual offences} \tn \mymulticolumn{1}{x{3.833cm}}{\hspace*{6 px}\rule{2px}{6px}\hspace*{6 px}Rape, indecent assault} \tn % Row Count 8 (+ 2) % Row 4 \SetRowColor{LightBackground} \mymulticolumn{1}{x{3.833cm}}{Public order offences} \tn \mymulticolumn{1}{x{3.833cm}}{\hspace*{6 px}\rule{2px}{6px}\hspace*{6 px}Riot, affray, violent disorder} \tn % Row Count 10 (+ 2) % Row 5 \SetRowColor{white} \mymulticolumn{1}{x{3.833cm}}{Drug offences} \tn \mymulticolumn{1}{x{3.833cm}}{\hspace*{6 px}\rule{2px}{6px}\hspace*{6 px}Possession of a controlled drug or possession with intent to supply} \tn % Row Count 13 (+ 3) \hhline{>{\arrayrulecolor{DarkBackground}}-} \end{tabularx} \par\addvspace{1.3em} \begin{tabularx}{3.833cm}{X} \SetRowColor{DarkBackground} \mymulticolumn{1}{x{3.833cm}}{\bf\textcolor{white}{{\bf{AC1.1 Key Terms}}}} \tn % Row 0 \SetRowColor{LightBackground} \mymulticolumn{1}{x{3.833cm}}{Actus Reas -
