Criminal Law Résumé

Criminal Law: Doctrine and Theory William Wilson

"Criminal Law 2nd edition" is suitable for students of first or second year undergraduate Criminal Law courses. This core text provides coverage of key topic areas as well as extensive analysis and valuation. Modern law courses are increasingly concerned with the effectiveness of criminal law doctrine in delivering criminal justice. This book therefore includes an emphasis on evaluation as well as exposition, helping students to understand the reasons for ambiguity and difference in criminal law doctrine, and to develop the skills necessary for effective analysis. The series editor Ian Dennis is one of the leading criminal law professors in the UK.
