Recensioner i media

Review for previous edition: [This] textbook remains one of, if not the, leading criminal law textbook in England and Wales. It is one of the few textbooks available that engages in a detailed exposition of the doctrinal criminal law while simultaneously engaging with the criminal law’s theoretical underpinning.
