Synopsis

The third edition of Criminal Law: Text, Cases and Materials offers an exceptional depth of analysis whilst providing a wealth of cases and materials set within the theoretical context of criminal law. The effective two-part structure of each chapter in the book - the first part explaining the law as it is, the second examining the theoretical aspects - ensures that readers not only gain a secure understanding of the law itself but also acquire a fundamental appreciation of the complex philosophical and ethical debates surrounding it. Important theoretical material is made accessible to students through a particularly engaging writing style, and the author's clarity of expression brings the subject to life and places the law in context. This text is an essential and complete resource for all those wanting to get to grips with the always fascinating and sometimes challenging area of criminal law today. Online Resource Centre This book is accompanied by an Online Resource Centre, offering detailed updates to the law following publication, useful weblinks, and guidance on answering questions in the book. For this edition, the Online Resource Centre also provides video footage of the author talking about the book and his approach to criminal law.
