Why Choose This Book?

Criminal Law: General Principles is a well-established academic reference that introduces the foundational concepts of substantive criminal law through a case-based and analytical approach. Rather than merely explaining statutory provisions, it integrates legal theory, landmark judgments, scholarly commentary, and critical discussion. The third edition has been revised to strengthen conceptual clarity, making it an excellent resource for law students, academicians, judicial service aspirants, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of criminal jurisprudence.

About the Book

This authoritative textbook examines the general principles governing criminal liability and punishment using an engaging pedagogical method that combines case law with the Socratic approach to learning. Each chapter introduces the underlying legal concepts before analysing leading judicial decisions, supported by explanatory notes, condensed judgments, discussion questions, and suggested readings. The third edition has been substantially restructured to encourage analytical thinking and independent legal reasoning. Suitable for classroom instruction, examination preparation, research, and professional reference, it remains a widely respected work on substantive criminal law.
