As well as describing the development of this frequently prosecuted
crime from the mid-19th century to the present day, this book
offers a critique of the current law. Related statutory offences
are also considered, including those created by the Criminal
Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010, and the Offensive
Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Act
2012, as is the extent to which these new offences supplant the
common law crime. The author argues that breach of the peace is a
crime which is open to criticism on several fronts. In particular,
and notwithstanding attempts in recent years by the appeal court to
narrow its ambit, it remains ill defined.
