Criminal Law - Softcover

Elliott and Quinn's "Criminal Law" is an established and popular textbook with students and lecturers alike. It provides a lively, clear and comprehensive explanation of English criminal law, with a topical emphasis on emerging case law. As well as stating what the law is, the authors analyse the principles underpinning it. The law is described in its social context, often with reference to other jurisdictions, together with an outline of the academic debate surrounding contentious areas.
