This book seeks to unravel the issues associated with the crime of
murder, providing a highly accessible account of the subject for
people coming to it for the first time. It uses detailed case
studies as a way of exemplifying and exploring more general
questions of socio-cultural responses to murder and their
explanation. It incorporates a historical perspective which both
provides some fascinating examples from the past and enables
readers to gain a vision of what has changed and what has remained
the same within those socio-cultural responses to murder. The book
also embraces questions of race and gender, in particular cultural
constructions of masculinity and femininity on the one hand, and
the social processes of 'forgetting and remembering' in the context
of particular crimes on the other. Particular murders analysed
included those of Myra Hindley, Harold Shipman and the Bulger
murder.

Sensationalist newspaper coverage of crime has been a matter of
keen public interest. But what role has sensationalist reporting
played in creating public understanding of the criminal justice
system in England and Wales? This book provides an answer,
presenting an engaging account of crime reportage from the late
eighteenth century to the present day; from the era of specialist
reporters to the days of modern investigative journalism. Written
in a lively and accessible style and locating familiar crime
stories from Constance Kent to Sara Payne in their contemporary
presentations to newspaper readers, the chapters explore crime news
in broadsheet, quality and tabloid publications and explain its
importance to how the criminal justice system has been understood.
The book identifies why particular crime stories came to public
prominence and how these were constructed and presented for popular
consumption, offering new ways of thinking about reportage and the
criminal justice system.
Drawing together examples from broadsheet and tabloid newspapers
this account of English crime reportage takes readers from the late
eighteenth century to the present day. In the post-Leveson world,
it is a timely and engaging contextualisation of the history of
printed crime news and investigative journalism.
This book will guide you through the core legal principles and
rules to be tested by the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE1)
Functioning Legal Knowledge (FLK) assessment in criminal law. It
will help you revise the fundamental principles and test your
knowledge throughout by the use of SQE-style multiple-choice
(single best answer) questions, as well as with practical examples
of the application of the law. Case law and legislation will be
provided where necessary, with the text focusing on the fundamental
principles behind those common law and statutory statements.
