| Summary |
Summary: "In the 11th edition the authors have included new leading cases from the principal appellate courts in Australia, and legislative provisions which have effected the most significant changes to the fabric of the criminal law. Some comments on, and evaluations of, jurisprudence have been revised. Some cases, which in the opinion of the authors no longer figure in the modern law, have been deleted. This book unites the principal authoritative sources of the criminal law and a critical appraisal and evaluation of its doctrines. As with previous editions, Criminal Law: Text and Cases is intended to be equally useful in each of the common law states. Variations in the law from one state to another are fully explained and discussed."--Publisher description |
