Publisher's Synopsis
Part of the "Nutshells" series of revision texts for law students, this book on criminal law has been revised to incorporate in each end of chapter summary the recommendations of the Law Commission in its Draft Criminal Code. Recent developments in relation to defences are also explored. Contents include strict liability, parties to crime, inchoate offences, general and non-fatal offences, homicide, theft and related offences, deception and non-payment. Particular emphasis is placed on those topics most favoured by examiners, and sample examination questions and answers are included in the text.
