Details

This outstanding account of modern English criminal law combines detailed exposition and analysis of the law with a careful exploration of its theoretical underpinnings. Primarily, it is written for undergraduate students of criminal law, covering all subjects taught at undergraduate level.

The book's philosophical approach ensures students have a deeper understanding of the law that goes beyond a purely doctrinal knowledge. As a result, over its numerous editions, it has become required reading for criminal law courses. The 9th edition covers all statutory law including the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022, the Online Safely Act 2023, and the Public Order Act 2023. Case law discussions now cover R v Iqbal (2023) and Auriol Grey (2024).
