Dishonesty and young people's liability: the case of academic misconduct
Dishonesty and young people's liability: the case of academic misconduct
This chapter considers the common law test for dishonesty and its application to young people through the lens of academic misconduct. It examines the causes of academic misconduct, institutional and legislative responses, and the application of the common law test to conclude that, in both the academic and criminal context, the best response to moral ambiguity or ambivalence about dishonest practices amongst the young may be moral education rather than punishment.
