Abstract
Smith, Hogan, and Ormerod’s Criminal Law: Text, Cases, and Materials is a guide to the criminal law. The text is supplemented by extracts from the key criminal law cases, together with other essential materials from statutes, reports, and articles. This edition has been significantly revised and restructured to present the materials in an order that closely matches the structure of contemporary courses on criminal law. The latest legislation and all of the recent cases that continue to shape the law are included. The book has, from the first edition, examined all the aspects of the criminal law that would be expected to be found in the undergraduate syllabus, and has been revised and restructured to ensure that this latest edition reflects the modern undergraduate course.
