Reviews of previous editions:
This is a robust, comprehensive and up to date book about the law
of New South Wales. Despite its specific jurisdictional focus
anyone with a practical or theoretical interest in how crime is
defined, law enforced or trials conducted will find this book to be
an invaluable resource. Intended as a law school text its authors
achieve a very rare double of serving well two readerships-academic
and practitioner... Whilst constantly challenging a reader's
assumptions in such manner the text never slips into the
impenetrable language of postmodern critical theory. It remains a
book any practicing lawyer can read with enjoyment...I highly
recommend it. - Tasmanian Law Society, Law Letter, Winter 2011
A work that any practitioner in the criminal law field can
gainfully read, and this is facilitated by the use of Commonwealth
and other State legislation and case law. No doubt a number of the
propositions can be challenged but overall it is an excellent
reference written in a stimulating fashion. - Victorian Bar
News
The authors must be congratulated ... (they) have undertaken a task
which is extraordinarily ambitious in order to provide a much
broader insight into the workings and construction of criminal law
in our society. - Australian Law Librarians' Newsletter
This is a most excellent textbook to be recommended for all
undergraduate law courses in New South Wales. - NSW Law Society
Journal
The issues raised in this massive work are important and
enlightening. [It makes a] valuable contribution to the study and
practice of criminal law. Its critical (though somewhat unorthodox)
style and thought-provoking comment are bound to make it popular. -
Victorian Law Institute Journal
For the student of law, Criminal Laws is an exciting and
challenging introduction to the subject of criminal law and should
stimulate debate in the classroom. For the practitioner, it is an
excellent reference book providing an accessible resource of
materials often ignored through pressure of time and casework. -
