Reviews
I have recommended Criminal Law: Text, Cases, and Materials to my students for 10 years now. I think it is the best criminal law textbook on the market. * Dr Kevin J. Brown, Senior Lecturer, Queen's University Belfast *
The first port of call and the 'go to' reference for all undergraduate law students. It is comprehensive and accessible. * Kathryn Dutton, Associate Dean (Law and Policing), York St John University *
A very good and comprehensive textbook. It has a clear and unique style... It gives students that extra, theoretical information... It has been on reading lists at every institution I have taught in, and for a reason. * Dr Laura Lammasniemi, Assistant Professor, University of Warwick *
