The third edition of this best-selling book has been thoroughly revised to take into account recent developments in the law.

This is the only textbook which thoroughly explores criminal practice and procedure as it relates to the Caribbean. The text clarifies the state law in each jurisdiction, making it clear when laws are the same or similar, and highlighting when differences in laws between the jurisdictions apply.

Statute law and common law are examined in the relevant jurisdictions including Trinidad, Tobago, Guyana, Barbados, Jamaica and Grenada among others. The impact of statutory changes are also analyzed alongside recent developments and Statutory law in the Caribbean is compared to English Law throughout.

Although written for law students, as the only book which deals specifically with criminal practice and procedure in the Caribbean, it is also a useful reference tool for criminal justice professionals.
