Hart Publishing has published the ninth edition of Simester and Sullivan's Criminal Law: Theory and Doctrine by JJ Child, AP Simester, J Stanton-Ife, Findlay Stark, and Graham Virgo.
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 to develop their understanding of the field, covering all criminal law 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 those seeking to add depth to their study of the criminal law. The ninth edition has been updated to reflect both statutory and case-law developments concerning the offences covered in this book.
