Media Reviews
This is an excellent book for our criminal law course. It is pitched at just the right level. With the frequency of new editions it provides there is no other book on the market which can currently compete in my opinion * Dr Kevin J. Brown - Newcastle University *
A well-organized and comprehensive text. It succeeds in integrating well-chosen excerpts from academic commentary and case judgments in an accessible form and without over simplification. * Ms Elizabeth Stokes - University of East London *
This remains the best book of its type for undergraduate criminal law students. The sources are selected carefully, and the analysis is helpful and concise. * Dr Findlay Stark - University of Cambridge *
My first choice for any student learning criminal law: it is clear and well structured, and identifies the applicable law very clearly to enable the students to understand it and then apply it. * Dr Patricia Hobbs - Brunel University *
A comprehensive and clearly written textbook whose selection of useful and interesting articles examine the law in a wider context. * Francine Ryan - The Open University *
