Criminal Law is a brand new text aimed at students studying on an LLB or GDL course. Written in plain English, it provides students 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 then adds to this knowledge to ensure that students are able to apply the substantive law using a variety of skills in different contexts. Then, the text 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. Criminal Law aims to present the law as of March 2018.

It takes account of the Law Commission's recommendations for reforming offences against the person, and discusses recent (2017) cases on the following topics:-

  • accessorial liability (R v Jogee, R v Brown, R v Garwood and R v Varley)
  • statutory conspiracy (R v Dad (Ashley Alan))
  • diminished responsibility (R v Squelch, R v Conroy, R v Blackman and R v Joyce)
  • loss of self-control (R v Meanza, R v Martin and R v Rejmanski)
  • gross negligence manslaughter (R v Rose and R v Zaman)
  • intoxication (R v White (Lindsey))
  • insanity (Loake v CPS)
  • self-defence (R v Robinson (Gary Lucien) and R v Ray)
  • dishonesty (Ivey v Genting Casinos and DDP v Patterson)
The author will provide online updates as the law develops and new authorities arise. Online resources also include detailed guidance on answering questions in criminal law.
