Review from previous edition This is the text to turn to on almost all points of criminal lawIt offers depth, clarity, and extensive coverage. * Dr Stephen Skinner, University of Exeter *
As a student, a barrister, and a judge I have found Smith and Hogan's Criminal Law an invaluable companion for more than forty years. I would regard it as an essential work of reference for anyone learning about or professionally practising the criminal law. * The Hon Mr Justice Maddison *
From a student perspective, Smith and Hogan's Criminal Law provides the most comprehensive coverage of criminal law. It was refreshing to find a text where the subject-matter was accessible and engaging without over-simplification. It provides a clear, current and in-depth account of the subject, whilst offering avenues for further investigation. The critical analysis, academic views and ideas for reform proved to be invaluable for getting the best grades in exams and assignments. It was a great starting point before accessing any of the primary sources. In my view, it is an essential companion for any undergraduate law student. * Sophie Greta Lynch, LLB Law Student, Southampton University *
This is a formidable work. While some parts are introductions to the criminal law, this is no mere student's textbook [...] if it were not part of the publisher's student offering, it would cost hundreds of pounds. * The Law Gazette *
