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.
