Synopsis

This book explores the codification and organization of the criminal statute law of England from its origins to the present day. The author argues that the criminal law of England has been in a state of constant flux since the first criminal statutes were passed in the 13th century. The author traces the development of the criminal statute law through various key periods, including the Tudor and Stuart eras, the 18th and 19th centuries, and the 20th and 21st centuries. The author argues that the criminal statute law of England is now in a state of crisis, and that it is in need of major reform. The author proposes a number of reforms to the criminal statute law, including the codification of the criminal law, the establishment of a Law Commission to review and reform the statute law, and the introduction of a new system of sentencing. The book concludes that the criminal statute law is in urgent need of reform, and that the reforms proposed by the author would greatly improve the system.
