内容説明

This edition of "Criminal Law" follows the pattern of the Handbook series, being designed as a concise working text, comprising study notes and tests and intended specifically for students commencing their first exploration of the criminal law and for those who require material for a swift, intensive scheme of revision prior to first examinations in the subject. The book is not intended as a replacement for a standard text; it should be considered as an adjunct and utilized accordingly. New material, based on recent legislation and case law, is embodied in this edition. Tables of cases and statutes have been pruned and brought up to date; sections of the Draft Criminal Code prepared by the Law Commission appear at appropriate points in the text; the appendix on examination technique has been completely rewritten and the speciman test papers are largely made up from recently set LLB examination questions. Recent important decisions of the House of Lords are noted in the text; these include R.v. More (1987) (false documents and forgery), R.v. Gold and Schifreen (1988) (computer "hacking" and forgery), R.v. Court (1988) (mens rea of indecent assault), X Ltd v. Morgan Grampian Ltd (1990) (journalist's moral obligation to protect sources in relation to comtempt). Significant decisions of the Court of Appeal which are mentioned include R.v. Bevans (1988) (demanding with menaces), R.v. Conway (1988) and R.v. Martin (1989) (defence of necessity in extreme circumstances), R.v. Khan (1990) (intent in attempted rape) and R.v. Ariobke (manslaughter). Recent legislation to which attention is drawn includes the wide-ranging Criminal Justice Act 1988 and the Official Secrets Act 1989, which has replaced the Official Secrets Act 1911.
