Description
This work, a companion to "Smith and Hogan: Criminal Law", is a collection of materials on those parts of the substantive criminal law which make up undergraduate courses. In addition to cases, the materials include statutes, reports, books and articles arranged by subject matter. Introductory notes and commentary link the materials, and questions and problems illuminate and provoke thought about the issues raised. There have been major legislative changes in criminal law, eg. offences against the person, crime, disorder and theft. This edition brings the work up to date in the light of large changes in statute and case law.
