Great Debates in Criminal Law by Jonathan Herring

Great Debates in Criminal Law by Jonathan Herring

This textbook is an introduction to more advanced writings on criminal law, primarily designed to allow students to think critically and analyse specific topics. Each chapter is structured around key questions and debates that provoke deeper thought. It asks questions such as: Why do we have the laws that we have? Could the criminal law look differently? How should the law be applied to novel situations? Does the law in fact reflect prejudices? The aim of the book is not to present a complete overview of theoretical issues in criminal law, but rather to illustrate the current debates among those working in shaping the area. The text features summaries of the views of notable experts on key topics and each chapter ends with a list of guided further reading. New to this Edition: - A new debate on the law on body modification - Fresh discussion of the law on dishonesty - Important new case law on causation - Detailed discussion of developments on the law on accessory - Significant developments on the law on sexual offences
