ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY IN UGANDA

FACULTY OF LAW

YEAR 1 SEMESTER II, 2020/2021

CRIMINAL LAW II READING LIST

The course consists of a study of the nature and elements of particular crimes. Criminal
Law in Uganda is primarily contained in the Uganda Penal Code Act and amendments made
thereto and will therefore be the basic statute under study. However note that there are
other Acts which create offences such as the Anti Terrorism Act, 2002, the Anti Corruption
Act, 2009 as well as other Civil Acts. E.g. the Companies Act 2012, which regulates the
formation, operation of companies; the Traffic and Road Safety Act, Cap 361, which
regulates the use of vehicles but also create offences. Some of the offences however already
fall within the ambit of the Uganda Penal Code.

A great deal of emphasis is put on the study of case law in order that the students
understand how the law of crime is interpreted by the courts. Students are therefore
expected to diligently read most of these cases on their own.

By the end of the Course, students will be expected to demonstrate knowledge of the nature
and elements of crimes; an understanding of the basic rules of criminal liability and
knowledge of relevant case law and legislation. Students will also be expected to solve
hypothetical problems with reference to case law and legislation.

Particular offences will be discussed under the following general topics.

 Offences Against the Person
 Offences Relating to the Property
 Offences Against Public Order
 Offences Against the Administration of Lawful Authority
 Offences Against Public Tranquility
 Offences Against Morality
 Forgery and Similar Offences
 Offences Against Liberty
 Corruption, Abuse of Office and Similar Offences
 Offences Against the State
 Offences Injurious to the Public in General
 Malicious Injuries to Property
