Media Reviews
This is probably the most significant book on criminal law to be published for many years, because it combines a high level of detail on the relevant cases and statutes with a searching examination of theoretical arguments that point directions for the development of law and legal doctrines...it takes seriously the various theoretical contributions of recent years, and assesses their merits in the context of the patchwork of details that make up English criminal law...it is certainly sufficient for any undergraduate or postgraduate course...This is a carefully researched, well-written and balanced book, and a fine example of many of the best features of legal scholarship. Professor Andrew Ashworth, reviewing the first edition in the Law Quarterly Review
