'... undoubtedly a first-rate companion for any undergraduate or
post-graduate law course.' John Taggart, Criminal Law Review This
outstanding account of modern English criminal law combines
detailed exposition and analysis of the law with a careful
exploration of its theoretical underpinnings. Primarily, it is
written for undergraduate students of criminal law, covering all
subjects taught at undergraduate level. The book's philosophical
approach ensures students have a deeper understanding of the law
that goes beyond a purely doctrinal knowledge As a result, over its
numerous editions, it has become required reading for many criminal
law courses. The 8th edition covers all statutory law including the
Assaults on Emergency Workers Act 2018 and Domestic Abuse Act, s
71. Case law discussions now cover: Grant (complicity); Barton
(dishonesty); Broughton, Field, Kuddus, and Rebelo (homicide) and
AG's Ref (No 1 of 2020) (sexual offences).
If you could change one part of the criminal law, what would it be?
The editors put this question to nine leading academics and
practitioners. The first nine chapters of the collection present
their responses in the form of legal reform proposals, with topics
ranging across criminal law, criminal justice and evidence -
including confiscation, control orders, criminal attempts,
homicide, assisted dying, the special status of children, time
restrictions on prosecution, the right to silence, and special
measures in court. Each chapter is followed by a comment from a
different author, providing an additional expert view on each
reform proposal. Finally, the last two chapters broaden the debate
to discuss criminal law reform in general, examining various reform
bodies and mechanisms across England, Wales and Scotland. Criminal
Law Reform Now highlights and explores the current reform debates
that matter most to legal experts, with each chapter making a case
for positive change.
