“Simply *the* go-to textbook available on the Scottish criminal law. It is often sacrilegiously referred to as the criminal lawyer's "Bible" such is its importance. Originally written (now edited by M G A Christie) by the most influential academic & lawyer on the Scottish criminal law of the 20th century, it makes an excellent starting point for research or to just brush up the basics. It is hoped that the 4th edition will be available soon as the 3rd has been rendered partially out of date by, for example, the codification of the law of sexual offences in Scotland by the Sexual Offences (Scotland) Act 2009. Regardless, this remains among my favourite legal books that I have ever read.”
