The following table of nouns is from my IELTS ebook for part two of the writing test. The ebook also include verbs and adjectives.
Some useful nouns
| Word | Meaning |
| corporal punishment | to punish by physically harming the offender |
| capital punishment | to punish by killing the offender |
| community service | to spend time helping the community. For example, if a person does a minor crime they are often only punished by having to do community service. |
| consequences | the result or effect of something |
| deterrent | something that prevents an action |
| evidence | proof that the crime occurred |
| fine | money paid for a crime |
| imprisonment | to put someone in prison |
| legislation | laws that are made by the government |
| felony | a major crime |
| misdemeanour | a minor crime |
| motive | reason for doing something |
| prevention | stopping something from happening |
| victim | the person who suffers from a crime or negative event |
| violation | to break a rule |
The problem is how to use them automatically
Yes, I suggest,
1. don’t learn too many new words
2. practice using the new words you learn
great ! helpful
I would add also to the above useful list:
– offense
i.e: a serious/minor offence
– commit (Verb)
He committed several serious offences
– convicted (Verb)
It’s the third time that he’s been convicted of a drug offence.
– petty crime = minor crime
– Fraud (the crime of getting money by deceiving people)
credit card fraud
