Simester and Sullivan’s Criminal Law cover

This outstanding account of modern English criminal law provides students with rigorous analysis of the law, as well as a real understanding of its theoretical underpinnings.

'... undoubtedly a first-rate companion for any undergraduate or post-graduate law course.’ John Taggart, Criminal Law Review This outstanding account of modern English criminal law combines detailed exposition and analysis of the law with a careful exploration of its theoretical underpinnings. Primarily, it is written for undergraduate students of criminal law, covering all subjects taught at undergraduate level. The book’s philosophical approach ensures students have a deeper understanding of the law that goes beyond a purely doctrinal knowledge As a result, over its numerous editions, it has become required reading for many criminal law courses. The 8th edition covers all statutory law including the Assaults on Emergency Workers Act 2018 and Domestic Abuse Act, s 71. Case law discussions now cover: Grant (complicity); Barton (dishonesty); Broughton, Field, Kuddus, and Rebelo (homicide) and AG’s Ref (No 1 of 2020) (sexual offences).

[This] textbook remains one of, if not the, leading criminal law textbooks in England and Wales. It is one of few textbooks available that engages in a detailed exposition of the doctrinal criminal law while simultaneously engaging with the criminal law’s theoretical underpinnings. * Dr Daniel Bansal, Leicester Law School *
Simester and Sullivan’s Criminal Law is my ‘go-to’ textbook, combining rigorous analysis of criminal law doctrine with sophisticated theoretical analysis. * Dr Jennifer Collins, Associate Professor in Law, University of Bristol Law School *
Excellent and thorough discussion, with very useful updates for the last couple of years, especially Broughton. -- Christopher Cowley * University College Dublin *
I'm very happy with this text - it is incisive, opinionated, and challenging. -- Mark Dsouza * University College London *
This book is a thorough exploration of a number of key offences and defences in Criminal Law. There is an excellent level of detail and analysis of important contemporary debates and issues in the area. This is particularly suitable for strong students. -- Laura Graham * Northumbria University *
The book is an excellent resource, a refreshing take for those who treasure the importance of theory. -- Lucas Miotto * Leeds Beckett University *
