It provides a lively, clear and comprehensive introduction to English criminal law. As well as stating the law, the authors analyse the principles underpinning it. The law is described in its social context, together with an outline of the academic debate surrounding contentious areas. Modern, well-known cases are discussed to bring to life the issues under discussion.  The book is up to date with recently decided cases and legislation in the criminal field. It includes a discussion of Re A (Children) (2000) concerning the separation of Siamese twins, and considers its implications for murder, euthanasia and the defence of necessity. Recent judgments of the House of Lords on provocation, theft and strict liability are analysed, and the latest reform proposals for corporate homicide and involuntary manslaughter are examined.  Each chapter is structured to present the material in the best order for learning and revision, with clear headings to navigate the reader through the text and guidelines on answering examination questions at the end. The book concludes with a chapter of general advice on examination technique. Catherine Elliott is a qualified Barrister and Lecturer in Law at Kingston University.
