Written by leading academic authors, titles in the series are invaluable guides for students of law at all levels. Now in its sixth edition, this popular text offers a stimulating account of the key topics in criminal law illustrated through numerous case summaries. It also includes an exposition of recent academic commentary and Governmental Reforms including, homicide, muder and aiding and abetting. The coloured text design enables easy navigation throughout the text highlighting the summaries of key cases.Online Resource Centre Students are able to consolidate their own learning through the chapter summaries, further reading and self-test question sections of the book, which are now supplemented with an accompanying Online Resource Centre which provides hints on how to answer the questions posed in the textbook.

Nicola Padfield has not disappointed in providing undergraduate law students with a detailed yet accessible criminal law book which represents more of a handy case book than a rigorous textbook. Excellent for revision, many students will find it to be invaluable during their studies. Lisa Cherkassky of the University of Bradford in The Law Teacher 2009 Volume 43 Number 3
