This continues to be a unique, strong, and well-grounded account of English criminal law... The greatest strength of the book continues to be its first four conceptual chapters, which set the scene and establish the core values, institutions, and processes that give English criminal law its precise shape.
Dr David Hayes, Lecturer, University of Sheffield
The book is excellent, the work of two fine legal minds. No book of its length on the same subject is as good.
