Companion CD-ROM

The third edition of this established casebook on criminal law in South Africa, originally compiled by Jonathan Burchell and John Milton, has been substantially revised and improved on by Jonathan Burchell. Over 50 new extracts and a companion CD-ROM containing an additional 17 extracts from cases and legislation have been included in this new edition.

Cases and Materials on Criminal Law is a companion volume to Principles of Criminal Law, 3rd edition (2005), where the general principles of the South African criminal law and many of the specific crimes are fully analysed.

This book can also be used on its own as it contains substantial extracts from judgments, with succinct explanatory headnotes.
