Riassunto

Criminal Law: Text, Cases, and Materials offers deft legal coverage and analysis alongside expertly selected extracts from key cases and academic sources.

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 surrounding philosophical and ethical debates. Important theoretical material is made accessible to students through a particularly engaging writing style. 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 fascinating and sometimes challenging area of criminal law.

Online Resource Centre
This book is accompanied by an Online Resource Centre, offering updates to the law following publication, useful web links, and guidance on answering questions in the book. An introductory video from the author outlines how to make the most of the text during your studies.

Recensione:

This is an excellent book for our criminal law course. It is pitched at just the right level. With the frequency of new editions it provides there is no other book on the market which can currently compete in my opinion (Dr Kevin J. Brown - Newcastle University)

A well-organized and comprehensive text. It succeeds in integrating well-chosen excerpts from academic commentary and case judgments in an accessible form and without over simplification. (Ms Elizabeth Stokes - University of East London)

This remains the best book of its type for undergraduate criminal law students. The sources are selected carefully, and the analysis is helpful and concise. (Dr Findlay Stark - University of Cambridge)

My first choice for any student learning criminal law: it is clear and well structured, and identifies the applicable law very clearly to enable the students to understand it and then apply it. (Dr Patricia Hobbs - Brunel University)

A comprehensive and clearly written textbook whose selection of useful and interesting articles examine the law in a wider context. (Francine Ryan - The Open University)
