Criminal Law for Criminologists uses theoretical and practical research
to bridge the gap between ‘the law in the books’ (criminal law doctrine) and
‘the law in action’ (criminal justice process). It introduces the key policies
and principles that drive criminal law in England and then explains the law
itself in terms of relevant statute and case law. Starting with an outline of
the basic principles and theories of criminal law and criminal justice, the
author goes on to discuss:
·
Criminal law and
criminal justice in historical perspective,
·
General principles of
criminal law, including actus reus and mens rea,
·
Specific types of
criminal offence, including property, homicide, sexual, public order and drug
offences,
·
An overview of defences
to crime,
·
An appendix outlining
essential legal skills.
In examining the links between the worlds of criminal law and
criminal justice, Criminal Law for Criminologists brings a
fresh perspective to this field of research. Written in a clear and direct style,
this book will be essential reading for students of criminology, criminal
justice, law, cultural studies, social theory, and those interested in gaining
an introduction to criminal law.
