Criminal Law (Foundations in Law) Book

The fourth edition of this book retains the successful formula of the previous ones. An integrated approach to the subject is taken, and complex legal concepts, such as intention and recklessness, are introduced within the context of specific offences, and are then related to factual situations. Commonwealth and US cases and commentaries are considered where appropriate. The law has been thoroughly revised to take account of recent statutes and judgments. In particular, there have been important House of Lords decisions in the areas of accessories and non-fatal offences. Criminal Law is a title within the Foundation Studies in Law Series, written for law students for the core subjects required on law degrees and on postgraduate common professional examination courses. Ideal for part-time and distance-learning courses as well as traditional modularised courses, the books are intended to be used in conjunction with other sources such as law reports and case books.Read More
