This book provides a challenging, alternative, critical approach to every other text which deals with the criminal law's general principles.
Crime, Reason and History critically analyses the general principles of criminal law and offers a different viewpoint: that the law is systematically structured around conflicting elements. Updated to include two new chapters with an extended treatment of offence and defence, this new edition combines challenging and sophisticated analysis with accessibility.Many books seek to explain the general principles of the criminal law. Crime, Reason and History stands out and alone as a book that critically and concisely analyses these principles and comes up with a different viewpoint: that the law is shaped by social history and therefore systematically structured around conflicting elements. Updated extensively to include two new chapters on loss of control and self defence and with an extended treatment of offence and defence, this new edition combines challenging and sophisticated analysis with accessibility.
