Criminal Law is aimed at students studying on an LLB or law conversion (MA/GDL) course. Written in plain English, it provides readers with a detailed understanding of the theoretical and substantive aspects of the law of crime, whilst maintaining a practice-based approach.
The book provides a sound base level of knowledge of the substantive law. It adds to this knowledge to ensure that students are able to apply the substantive law using a variety of skills in different contexts. The text then shows students how to engage with the subject and critically evaluate and consider the implications of the law in any given scenario. It is essential that students understand the dynamism of criminal law and ask the difficult questions that have been, and remain to be, pondered by academics. As such, the book also considers the social, economic and political context.
