Synopsis

This book provides a comprehensive review of criminal law, from early history and the most fundamental principles, through to current jurisprudence and the latest legislation.

The book explores concepts such as the tension between individual autonomy and social order, the defining elements of criminal offenses, and the evolving remedies for wrongs, providing readers with an invaluable resource for understanding the intricacies of criminal law and its historical and social context.
