Items related to Casebook on Criminal Law
This text provides a collection of cases, statutory provisions and comments designed to define and illustrate the main principles of criminal law. It should be useful for students of criminal law at degree and professional level. Criminal law is subject to rapid changes, not only through statutory amendment, but also by means of judicial decisions. Judicial activity in the last four years since the last edition has meant the revision of most chapters. Among the major additions to the text are the examination of the issues of necessity and consent in "In re F. (Mental Patient: Sterilisation); Cheshire", in which causation in homicide is examined. Appropriation in theft is dealt with in "Gomez", as is the "mens rea" of an accessory in "Slack". Extracts from the Law Commission's Report and the draft Criminal Code Bill - "A Criminal Code for England and Wales" have been included throughout the text. In addition to the coverage of case law and statutory developments, the authors have included extracts from recently published articles. The collection of materials in this volume have been supplemented by notes and questions designed to assist and to stimulate the student.
