Author Description

Sweet & Maxwell’s Criminal Law textbook presents an accessible and current picture of criminal law and is ideal for those approaching the subject for the first time. The principal aim of this work is to set out clearly how the principles of criminal law operate in practice in the courts. This approach is complemented by an examination of law reform proposals, which go beyond looking at what the law is, to how it may develop in the future. All with a new layout designed to make studying easier.
