Reviews
Review from previous edition An excellent book. Well written and well organised, its pithy coverage of the core elements meets the demands of any criminal law course. * Robert Jago, The University of Surrey *
Padfield gets to the heart of the matter, engaging in excellent critique, and giving extremely useful in-text quotations from cases, and comments on academic articles. * Dr Sharon Hanson, Canterbury Christ Church University *
