Ashworth's Principles of Criminal Law, now in its tenth edition, takes a distinctive approach to the subject of criminal law, whilst still covering all of the vital topics found on criminal law courses.

This is essential reading for students seeking a sophisticated and critically engaging exploration of the subject.

About the author: 

Jeremy Horder is Professor of Criminal Law at the London School of Economics and Political Science, and a Fellow of the British Academy. He is the author of numerous works of criminal law scholarship, including Criminal Misconduct in Office (Oxford University Press, 2018), Homicide and the Politics of Law Reform (Oxford University Press, 2012), and Excusing Crime (Oxford University Press, 2007).

"This continues to be a unique, strong, and well-grounded account of English criminal law... The greatest strength of the book continues to be its first four conceptual chapters, which set the scene and establish the core values, institutions, and processes that give English criminal law its precise shape." - Dr David Hayes, Lecturer, University of Sheffield
  

"The book is excellent, the work of two fine legal minds. No book of its length on the same subject is as good." - Dr John Stanton-Ife, Reader in Criminal Law, King's College London
