    Hi all,

    I will start writing my dissertation for my final year undergraduate in the coming weeks. I am currently considering several titles to go with and would appreciate your opinion's. One title that I think may be interesting is "The Judicial Response to Organized Crime within Ireland, the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia and the European Union". The title really speaks for what I would be researching, I'd plan to divide the dissertation in to five key sections, each section dealing with each outlined jurisdiction and some criminology commentary relating to the judiciaries response to organized crime within each jurisdiction comparing and contrasting the differing approaches throughout.

    Other titles I am currently considering include:
    Expert Evidence - A Matter for Judge or Jury?
    A Comprehensive Study of the Irish Criminal Law Response to Sexual Offences.
    Is the Consensus that the Defenses Available to Murder Should Generally Not Result in a Full Acquittal in Need of Reform?

    Well certainly in Ireland the response is and has been a governmental one. They have made the modifications to CAB and the SCC. Thr juridicary has merely implemented them. So I think that a title change is in the cards.

    Expert evidence one would be fascinating given the discussion about specialist juries surrounding the white collar crime issues. Without going too deep into it I'd feel there's a lot of scope for good work there.

    Yes a title change may well be needed I was also thinking with reference to the judiciary I would analyse case law since the implementation of the Criminal Justice Act 2006.

    I've discussed the titles with my Criminal Law lecturer and she also favored that title. I'm somewhat apprehensive about doing it because I've yet to study the Law of Evidence but I do think it is probably the most interesting and original. I am to meet with my lecturer next week to further discuss the dissertation so I will have read in to the expert evidence idea by then.
