Publisher's Synopsis
Blackstone's Statute Books have been designed specifically to provide students with a collection of statutes for use throughout their course, and now cover all the main law subjects. The series has been produced following careful research of the syllabuses of most law courses. As a result, the authors have been able to produce a concise collection of relevant statutes, eliminating some of the non-essential material and concentrating on the more important statutes. Updated to May 2001, this 2001/2002 edition of Blackstone's Statutes on Criminal Law is arranged according to subject matter. It contains the most recent legislation including new offences and the many amendments to older ones in the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 2000, the Criminal Justice and Court Services Act 2000 and the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001. It also covers the relevant provisions of the Human Rights Act 1998. An appendix contains draft Bills prepared by the Home Office and the Law Commission in pursuance of the latter's programme for 'Legislating the Criminal Code'.
