This interpretive text on the Criminal Law of Fiji provides a concise analysis of the elements of the major offences and defences and examines key issues in criminal procedure and sentencing. It also examines the internal coherence of the law, explains regional law in light of the general principles of criminal law in the common law world, and identifies matters requiring legal reform. The revised Second Edition expands the coverage of criminal procedure and sentencing. It also covers statutory developments and relevant new case-law from other regional jurisdictions as well as Fiji itself.
The text has been designed primarily for students taking Criminal Law and Procedure as part of a LLB course. It is, however, also intended to have broader appeal to the legal community, stimulating critical discourse about the shape and direction of Fijian criminal law. The objective has been not only to analyse and explain the criminal law but also to help improve it.
