Review:
Reviews of Previous Editions "This is probably the most significant book on criminal law to be published for many years, because it combines a high level of detail on the relevant cases and statutes with a searching examination of theoretical arguments that point directions for the development of law and legal doctrines...certainly sufficient for any undergraduate or postgraduate course. This is a carefully researched, well-written and balanced book, and a fine example of many of the best features of legal scholarship." Professor Andrew Ashworth, Law Quarterly Review "...in this magisterial work on English Criminal law ... the authors have taken the art of textbook writing to a new level of sophistication... Simester and Sullivan's new book can without question be regarded as taking its place alongside the work of Williams, and of Smith and Hogan... and has been splendidly produced." Professor Jeremy Horder, The Criminal Law Review "A comprehensive, up to date text, well organised and accessible to most undergraduate students" Professor Hazel Biggs, Southampton University "the best Criminal Law textbook - even now surpassing Smith & Hogan." Richard Royle, Senior Lecturer, Lancashire Law School
