Criminal Law: The Basics provides an in-depth exploration of the legal aspects of criminal acts, covering topics from battery to burglary and harassment to homicide. The book delves into key questions surrounding crime, including the distinction between murder and manslaughter, and the defences available to those accused. A range of case studies is featured, from notable cases to more unusual ones, which are used to illustrate complex concepts such as loss of control, accessorial liability, dishonesty, causation, liability, and manslaughter. Relevant statutes and suggestions for further reading are also included throughout the book. This updated edition includes new material on various topics, making it an ideal starting point for anyone studying criminal law for the first time.
