About this title

Synopsis

Smith and Hogan's Text, Cases, and Materials on Criminal Law is an essential, accessible guide to the criminal law. The eminently clear text that is the hallmark of the Smith & Hogan approach is supplemented by extracts from all of the key criminal law cases, together with other essential materials from statutes, reports, and articles.

Introductory notes, commentary, summaries, and questions help students to contextualise the materials and to apply the law confidently, gaining an in-depth insight into the problems that the law poses and faces.

The contents of the eleventh edition have been substantially revised and restructured to present the materials in an order that closely matches the structure of contemporary courses on criminal law. The overall approach that the book takes has been adjusted to include significantly more explanatory text, thus ensuring that the book is suitable for use as a core textbook.

The latest legislation and all of the recent cases that continue to shape the law are included, providing the law student with everything they need to develop a thorough understanding of the key cases and the legal principles that they illustrate.
