Full Description
Ashworth's Principles of Criminal Law, now in its tenth edition, takes a distinctive approach to the subject of criminal law, whilst still covering all of the vital topics found on criminal law courses. Uniquely theoretical, it begins with an exploration of the underlying principles and theoretical foundations of the criminal law, givng the reader the necessary context and tools to critically engage with and analyse the law in the later chapters.
This is essential reading for students seeking a sophisticated and critically engaging exploration of the subject.
