This is an innovative and engaging account of the debates
underpinning criminal law in England and Wales and how they have
shaped legal events and policy. Ideal for the able student or
interested reader. This title presents the key tensions and
questions underlying the criminal law, thus setting legal
developments in their philosophical and cultural context and
enlivening the subject as an area of current debate. It is written
in an engaging and thoughtful style to guide the reader expertly
through otherwise intractable problems within the criminal law, and
offering a range of possible conclusions that might be drawn from
them. Key learnings are summarized at the end of chapters to ensure
that the main points within a particular topic are clear and can
readily be grasped. Where appropriate the work of leading figures
is included to elucidate the concepts addressed by the author,
illustrating how the subject has developed in the way that it has,
and why. Online access enhances the use of the book as a launchpad
to the wider criminal law and related literature, making this a
useful adjunct for those wishing to take their study further. An
engaging introduction to some of the more advanced writing on
criminal law for a reader with a reasonable grasp of the basic
legal principles, illuminated throughout with discussion of the
specific issues which reveal the practical significance of
different theoretical positions. This is also complemented by
online access.
