  This book aims to meet the needs of students studying for A level law syllabuses which address the study of law from a socio-legal perspective. It attempts to strike a balance between a description of the law of sufficient depth to meet the needs of a A level student and a discussion of the law's working and the theoretical principles underlying it. The text has been updated to reflect recent developments in the law. Topics discussed include the retreat of the duty of care in negligence, particularly in the context of economic loss; the impact of the Courts and Legal Services Act; the meaning of recklessness in the criminal law; particularly with reference to the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 and the changes in sentencing introduced by the Criminal Justic Act 1991.
