Solving Problems In Criminal Law

Despite the traditional emphasis on problem solving in most criminal law courses, students are generally given little assistance in acquiring and developing the required skills. This book attempts to avoid the sink or swim approach by explaining and demonstrating, step-by-step, the procedure for successfully coping with complex problems in criminal law. A summary of the substantive law is provided in concise note form, so that students can not only quickly revise areas relevant to the various problem-scenarios considered in the text, but also gain an integrated overview of the criminal law. This book is not a criminal law textbook, casebook, or a collection of model answers. It is more akin to an in-depth tutorial programme designed to enable students to realise their full potential.
