Principles of Criminal Law (Mike Molan, Denis Lanser, Duncan Bloy)

The three years since the publication of the third edition of this book has seen a significant amount of government activity in the areas of criminal justice, but very little by way of legislative reform of the substantive criminal law. In this period, the Crime Sentences Act 1997, the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999 have all made appearances to varying degrees of critical acclaim. The legislation that may yet prove to have the most impact on the substantive law is the Human Rights Act 1998, with the majority of provisions having come into effect on 2 October 2000.

This book therefore endeavours to reflect judicial decision making in this period, together with proposals for reform of the criminal law contained in various publications, such as the Law Commission, Consultation Paper on Fraud and Deception (1999) and the Home Office, Consultation Paper on Reforming the Law on Involuntary Manslaughter (2000), and raises the question of whether or not the nation needs a criminal code. It does not focus on the procedural or sentencing areas of the criminal law as these are rarely, if ever, dealt with in detail as part of a university level criminal law syllabus. Duncan Bloy would like to thank his co-authors who have undertaken the vast majority of the work associated with the revision of the text. He also wishes to thank Cara Annett at Cavendish Publishing for her forbearance over the last few months.

Mike Molan and Denis Lanser would like to extend their thanks to Cara Annett and Sonny Leong at Cavendish Publishing for encouraging their involvement in this fourth edition. Mike would like to thank Alison for taking  care of business so that he had the time to do the writing and Denis would like to thank Melanie for all her support and assistance. 

We have stated the law as at 1 October 2000.
