This popular, long-established textbook by Jonathan Herring provides a comprehensive introduction to the basic principles of criminal liability and to the main criminal offences, together with insights into the controversies and debates that surround the subject. The text is written in a clear and engaging manner, making the fundamental concepts easy to grasp. The new edition has been updated to reflect recent developments in the law, for example the new definition of dishonesty, developments on diminished responsibility, the new law on accessories, recent cases on loss of control, and contains summaries of recent academic analysis of criminal law.  With excellent features such as the ‘Hot topic’ boxes and further reading suggestions, it is an ideal companion for both law undergraduates and GDL/CPE students.  “Jonathan Herring’s Criminal Law is well organised, succinct and highly accessible. In addition to offering clarity in the exposition of criminal law principles, this thoughtful book situates the study of criminal law in the context of important controversies and debates. In doing so, it brings the subject to life.” Alex Sharpe, Keele University  “Covering a comprehensive array of topics which will be of relevance to most Criminal Law modules, this text serves as an excellent, engaging introduction to critical debates in the area.” – Lydia Bleasdale-Hill, University of Leeds
