Description and Table of Contents
Description
By following the format of a textbook, but also giving the reader extracts from important original materials (both cases and academic articles), Clarkson and Keating is designed to fulfil the roles of both textbook and source book. The text's approach to the study of criminal law is to explain and evaluate the main principles and rules by reference to the objectives of the law. It seeks to provide a social context to the law rather than a mere analysis of the rules.
This edition has been updated to include extracts and analysis of leading decisions such as Woollin, Hinks, B v DPP and Smith (Morgan) as well as an evaluation of reform proposals such as those relating to sentencing and sexual offences.
