Complete Criminal Law: Text Cases & Materials offers a student-centered approach to the criminal law syllabus. Clear & concise explanation of general legal principles is combined with fully integrated extracts from the leading cases & a wide range of academic materials. The extracts have been carefully selected to ensure that they are detailed enough to illustrate the point of law under consideration but succinct enough not to disrupt the flow of the text or to intimidate the student new to the study of criminal law. The book has been carefully structured with the needs of the student firmly in mind. Each chapter begins with basic principles & gradually covers all the core topics a student needs to know. Unique to this textbook is the extent to which the law is placed firmly in its social context. This will reinforce understanding by relating essential aspects of the law to vital social & moral problems. Throughout the text a range of learning features are employed to consolidate understanding & encourage application: thinking points containing reflective & short answer questions definition boxes summary points diagrams & problem/essay questions (with guidance on answering all questions on the accompanying Online Resource Centre). Chapter summaries & further reading recommendations provide the perfect springboard for further research. This innovative text aims to engage the reader in an active approach to learning & to stimulate reflection about the role of criminal law in society. Online Resource Centre Student resources
