The purpose of this book is to assist students in their study of criminal law and it is aimed primarily at those who are studying on degree courses and courses leading to professional examinations. It is not intended to replace standard textbooks, law reports and academic journals but to complement them by providing illustrations of answers to typical examination and course assessment questions. It is anticipated that it will be of most use to the student who has acquired a good knowledge of the relevant rules and principles of criminal law but who still experiences difficulty in expressing that knowledge
