Editorial Reviews

Review

"An intrinsic resource for any lawyer or practitioner involved in the criminal justice system." Simon McKay, Solicitor Advocate, Covert Policing Review 2005

`Review from previous edition "It would be difficult to imagine how many lawyers practising today have relied, at one time or another, upon Smith and Hogan at the very start of their legal careers over the past 30 years that their books have been published...Smith and Hogan promises to provide many more generations of criminal law students with a solid and dependable background for their studies."' The Legal Executive Journal

`"For a generation of students, Smith and Hogan Criminal Law has been the bible of Criminal Law."' Jonathan Herring, Times Higher Education Supplement

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and upto date coverage of English Criminal Law, June 10, 2009

This review is from: Smith and Hogan Criminal Law (Paperback)

This book offers a comprehensive coverage of English Criminal Law. It is extremely well suited as a primary text for the Criminal Law curriculum of any LLB program. Be sure to stop by in the online resources offer by the books website and pickup the latest updates. I used it as part of University of London LLB program and I definitely benefited from it. Readable and well written and quite engaging as a textbook. Recommended for any law student wishing to gain an understanding of English Criminal Law or for faculty who would like to adopt this as their primary criminal law text. Bear in mind that the coverage is primarily "substantive" criminal law and not "procedural" criminal law.
