2016 sees the publication of the highly anticipated and fully updated 4th Edition, Volume II of The Criminal Law of Scotland.

This takes into account all statutory and case law developments since the last in 2001, providing the most authoritative and detailed work of reference available on the subject – ensuring the answers you need are found within its pages. Volume II of The Criminal Law of Scotland covers specific crimes, including:-

Offences to damages to property
Non-sexual offences against the person
Injury to animals
Sexual offences
Offences against the state
Offences against public order and welfare
Offences against the course of justice
Offences of dishonesty

There has been vast change in the law since the previous edition, including controversial subjects such as the new offences of human trafficking and the Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Act 2012.

Our expert authors James Chalmers and Fiona Leverick has written in depth and detail on these subjects, alongside further key areas of change, including, the creation of statutory offences of threatening and abusive behaviour and stalking in 2010, the replacement of the common law offences of bribery and accepting a bribe with the Bribery Act 2010 and also extensive case law developments in breach of the peace.

The book takes account of a wide range of legislation passed since the last edition, including:

Animal Health and Welfare (Scotland) Act 2006
