Smith and Hogan's Criminal Law - Tapa blanda

For anyone looking for an authoritative, clear and stimulating discussion of criminal law, they need not look any further than Smith & Hogan's Criminal Law. (The Student Law Journal, December 2012)

Its written style is excellent: being both practical while scholarly meaning it is a vital text for both students and practitioners. (The Student Law Journal, December 2012)

Review from previous edition Under Professor Ormerod's editorship Smith and Hogan has gone from strength to strength, and the 12th edition has an unrivalled claim to be the first work which the courts should turn in search of a clear and authoritative explanation of the law. (Professor Jeremy Horder, University of Oxford)

Smith & Hogan's Criminal Law is regarded as the leading doctrinal textbook on criminal law in England and Wales and has been for over 45 years. The book owes its consistent popularity to its accessible style, depth of analysis and breadth of coverage. It is an invaluable text for undergraduates and is an essential reference source for criminal law practitioners.

The thirteenth edition has been completely updated in order to include all legislative and case law developments. Changes brought about through the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 and the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008 have been fully incorporated. There is, as ever, detailed analysis of the many recent case developments (over 200 new cases are digested in this edition), in particular, a revision of the chapter dealing with secondary liability and joint enterprise.
