Complete Criminal Law provides students with choice extracts, supported by clear author commentary and useful learning features. The explanations and examples in this textbook have been crafted to help students hone their understanding of criminal law.

The Complete titles are ambitious in their scope; they have been carefully developed with teachers to offer law students more than just a presentation of the key concepts. Instead they offer a complete package. Only by building on the foundations of the subject, by showing how the law works,
demonstrating its application through extracts from cases and judgments, and by giving students the tools and the confidence to think critically about the law will they gain a complete understanding.
