Providing a concise statement of the law, this book acts as an index of common penalties and formalities in cases tried on indictment or committed for sentence, as well as appeals in criminal proceedings. This edition covers: the Crime (Sentences) Act which alters the law on sentencing of persistent burglars, drug dealers and violent second-time sex offenders; changes to crown court procedure made by the Police Act 1997; case law resulting from the Criminal Procedures and Investigations Act 1996; new cases on drug trafficking; and the new caution in the light of the new guidelines given by the Lord Chief Justice on the administration of the caution.
