Offences Against the Person (Paperback)

Within the criminal law, the area of offences against the person is one of the most important, and at times, a controversial subject. This book deals with both homicide, and non-fatal offences (including sex offences). The theoretical bases, and practical operation, of the main offences in all areas are discussed, together with the possibilities for practical reform suggested, for example, in the Law Commission's codification proposals. The depth of treatment means that this book should be useful both to students of criminal law and to practitioners, academics and all who are concerned with the substantive offences operating within the English criminal justice system.
