Clarkson and Keating: Criminal Law: Text and Materials:-
Examines the main principles and rules of criminal law and explores the theoretical bases upon which they are founded in an easily digestible text
Combines the best features of a standard “textbook” with those of a “cases and materials” book to provide guidance and direction on the law, whilst presenting
a substantial amount of key primary material selected from a diversity of sources
Includes extracts from cases and academic articles, carefully edited to make them accessible to students
Draws on non-legal contextual material to provide a social context to the law rather than a mere analysis of the rules
