Recensioner i media

Monaghan's textbook is (now) a classic book in terms of its readability and its accessibility, and it offers a great introduction to criminal law. It covers the important issues of the academic discipline of criminal law and is without the complexity which will lose some students who need a gentler introduction to the academic study of criminal law. The presentation of Monaghan's textbook is user-friendly, EDI sensitive, and helpful via many visual techniques, such as flow charts, tables, decision trees, and more. Further, the digital content which the textbook offers is practical and rewarding when used for further study, through functions such as multiple choice questions, self-test questions, and flashcards.
