The legal principles and rules involved in the study of criminal law are often complex and technical. It is therefore essential that students have a clear and comprehensive account of the law to guide their study. For generations Smith and Hogan has fulfilled that need.

Introductory notes and commentary link the materials enabling the reader to gain an insight into the problems that may arise.
