Smith & Hogan: Criminal Law is regarded as the leading doctrinal textbook on criminal law in England and Wales and has been for over 40 years.

Review:

`Review from previous edition This is an intrinsic resource for any lawyer or practitioner involved in the criminal justice system. It should not be limited to students of law. Before this book published it would have been difficult to have predicted Smith and Hogan Criminal Law could have
got any better. It has.'
Covert Policing Review 2005

`It would be difficult to imagine how many lawyers practicing today have relied, at one time or another, upon Smith and Hogan at the very start of their legal careers over the past 30 years...Smith and Hogan promises to provide many more generations of criminal law students with a solid and
dependable background for their studies.'
