It outlines the fundamental provisions of criminal law, rules on criminal procedure, as well as legislative amendments.

Real-life court cases are cited to allow for an incisive analysis of criminal laws that tests students' critical thinking, and triggers lively classroom discussion and debate.

For this and other features, Fundamentals of Criminal Law becomes a valuable source in the study of criminal justice for pre-law and legal management students, and a handy guide for lawyers and laypeople ER -
