A Straightforward Guide to Criminal Law - Second Edition

Criminal Law governs us all - and ignorance of the law is no defence. It is therefore important that we all understand our rights, obligations and the processes associated with them, be that after defending ourselves when struck down or finding ourselves a victim of fraud. This book will guide the reader through the fundamentals of Criminal Law, as well as touching on some specialist and developing areas. This text improves upon its first edition - the content has been streamlined, and the author has acted on the feedback received regarding the first edition. The new makeup of this text will be particularly useful to those seeking to understand the basics of criminal law; be they an early career law or criminology student, or a member of the public wishing to deepen their everyday understanding.
