Reviews for Complete Criminal Law: Text, Cases, and Materials

Review from previous edition Strikes exactly the right balance between providing a sound introduction to the subject...whilst still being comprehensive...combined with a user-friendly layout and a variety of innovative techniques to aid students' learning. * Graeme Brown, Assistant Professor in Criminal Law, Durham University * A fantastic book...a complete package. The book and combined online support provides...a detailed and highly effective learning pathway. If a learner followed the logical structure and took advantage of the online support they would be guaranteed success on any criminal law module. * Louis Martin, Senior Lecturer, Staffordshire University * Particularly user-friendly and accessible...the unique features make it ideal. * Andra le Roux-Kemp, Associate Professor in Law, University of Lincoln *
