Criminal Law
Considerably expanded and updated, the third edition of this textbook provides a readable and comprehensive introduction to criminal law for undergraduate students. Through the media coverage of high-profile trials we all feel that we know something about criminal law, and this edition uses such cases to create a real interest and involvement on the part of the student.; New features to this edition are "key words" sections and "hot topics" which explore the legal issues behind some high-profile and controversial cases. A new chapter examines in detail the impact of the Human Rights Act, and new sections discuss racially motivated crime and the Protection from Harassment Act.

Really interesting introduction to contentious points in the criminal law — perfect for a budding law student with little experience of law. Although the arguments are occasionally hard to follow and complex, it provides real food for though about some of the moral dilemmas that the law faces and raises wider questions as to whether the law as it stands is effective and just.
