Text, Cases and Materials on Criminal Law combines detailed commentary and analysis of the law with excerpts from a range of sources, both legal and non-legal, to help set the law in context and deepen your understanding of this core area of legal study.

The book begins with an examination of some crucial principles to give you the tools in which to analyse and evaluate the criminal law. The following chapters, which cover the most common offences covered within law programmes, will relate back to these key principles, encouraging you to critique and challenge the criminal law from a range of perspectives.

Further to developing your ability to critically analyse the legal framework, the author also draws on numerous realistic scenarios to describe the operation of the criminal law, helping you to see the way it works in practice and be confident in applying your knowledge to problem scenarios.  

Written in an accessible style and using a range of innovative learning features to enhance your comprehension, Text, Cases and Materials on Criminal Law is the ideal companion for anyone studying criminal law as part of an undergraduate or GDL degree.
