  The authors of this well-established book continue to provide a particularly clear picture of English law, ensuring that the book will serve the needs of anyone needing a basic, all-round knowledge of the English legal system. Much theoretical and empirical material, designed to set the substance of the law in its social context, has been added, as have recent developments in case law. Amongst the latter dealt with here are R. v. Shivpuri (1987), R. v. R. Court of Appeal (1991) regarding the subject of marital rape, Murphy v. Brentwood District Council (1990) and Jones v. Wright (1991), relating to the Hillsborough tragedy and the rules of nervous shock. This edition includes a comprehensive section on criminal law, emphasizing the wealth of changes that have occurred in this field of law in the last few years, including, of course, the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984.
