Michael Hirst is Professor of Criminal Justice, De Montfort University, Leicester

Michael Hirst deserves the warmest congratulations for a work of first-rate scholarship written in admirably uncluttered language. Jurisdiction and the Ambit of the Criminal Law is concise and commanding in its exposition, trustworthy in its analysis, and astoundingly thorough. It provides a wealth of information both useful and, at times, exquisitely arcane, and its salutary emphasis on ambit as a substantive issue, an element of the actus reus, is alone enough to make it worth the money.

• Preface ; Tables ; 1. Ambit and Jurisdiction in English Criminal Law ; 2. Historical, International, and Other Influences ; 3. The Limits of Territorial Jurisdiction ; 4. Cross-frontier Offences ; 5. The Extraterritorial Application of English Criminal Law ; 6. Maritime and Aviation Offences ; 7. Rethinking the Ambit of the Criminal Law ; Select Bibliography ; Index
