Australian Criminal Laws: Critical Perspectives provides a critical understanding of criminal laws. The general "principles of criminal law" have traditionally been viewed as authoritatively set out or "posited" without reference to their historical and social context. This book moves beyond that approach and through the use of detailed case studies, the foundations of criminal laws are placed in their broader context to provide perspectives on the law's development and operation, and to highlight law reform issues.
