Jonathan Herring's latest edition of Criminal Law remains a well organised, succinct, and highly accessible textbook. 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.
