Product Description

This work is part text, part case study, with substantial statute and case citations which lead the student to the heart of the subject, and references to academic analysis and to law reform proposals intended to highlight the many challenges and difficulties of the subject. This second edition has been fully updated in light of recent House of Lords cases on key issues, including Woollin, which makes a step towards defining intention. The author has also incorporated all relevant new legislation and a number of interesting reports, such as the Law Commission proposals on Fraud and Deception.

Customer Reviews

Great Text. Well done Padfield!
Fantastic book which brings together what other books take hundreds of pages to say. Works fantastically along side other Criminal Law texts and helps reinstate confidence when something from a lecture doesn't make sense. Great book. making Criminal Law far more interesting to study.

VERY HELPFUL
Very easy to navigate around and was easy to understand, with good cases and references by judges and other authors.

Criminal Law, Nicola Padfield
Excellent book for a first-year law student. Padfield explains everything you need to know in short where other books would take hundreds of pages. Very interesting. Would recommend this to anyone who has an interest in criminal law.
