Norman Baird Criminal law

Annotation

This book demonstrates effective methods of answering typical examination and assessment questions, and explains the principles relating to the offences and defences studied on undergraduate and GDL criminal law courses. This fifth edition contains a number of new questions and has been substantially revised in the light of recent developments in criminal law. It incorporates the decision of the House of Lords in R v G and another (2003), and numerous important Court of Appeal decisions, including Finlay (2003), Wacker (2003), Antar (2004), Misra (2004), Rowland (2004), Dica (2004), and O`Flaherty (2004). Changes in the law brought about by the Sexual Offences Act 2003 are also included.
