Customer Reviews

concise and to the point
As a law student I found the book very valuable as a starting point to understanding criminal law. The book is very concise, and to the point. It leaves out all the irrelevant material, and focuses on the main factors relating to fatal offence right through to theft. It's upto date with all legal issues and is excellent both to study from and for revision purposes.
