Book Description

Written by an experienced teacher and senior examiner, this book covers revision of the law for AQA A2 Law Unit 3A Criminal law (offences against the person). Fully updated in 2013 with recent cases and laws it is written in a lively, clear and accessible way and is designed to help students of all learning styles to understand the subject. It can be used as a self-study guide as well as in the classroom, and includes: Revision summaries, exercises and examination practice for criminal law, offences against the person, complete with answers and example examination scripts. Based on the law and cases in my 2013 book A2 Law for AQA Unit 3A, this text will, however, be useful for other criminal law courses, including OCR, Ilex and LLB. It covers revision of the following areas: Murder (including actus reus and mens rea generally) Voluntary manslaughter (loss of control and diminished responsibility) Involuntary manslaughter (gross negligence and unlawful act manslaughter) Non-fatal offences against the person (assault, battery, actual and grievous bodily harm, wounding with intent) Defences (insanity, automatism, intoxication, consent and self-defence) Also available by Sally Russell: THE LAW EXPLAINED SERIES: Individual booklets covering specific topics of law from 2014. These booklets currently cover Concepts of Law, most Criminal law and some Tort.
