Problems for the criminal law

About this book

"Problems for the Criminal Law is a book about teaching and learning criminal law, using a problem-centred approach. The problem focus enables the analysis of issues of context and process within a critical framework. Life problems are used to develop an understanding of the practical applications and consequences of the criminal law within contemporary social settings in Australia." "The book develops in three parts. Part 1 begins with a contextualisation of the criminal law and criminal justice. Part 2 explores problem-solving skills and techniques for analysis and shows how these can be applied. Part 3 is a collection of practical life problems, which have been selected to highlight important issues of law and legal process and to expose ethical dilemmas." "This teaching and learning text is aimed at law students and their instructors. It is both an instructional device and a framework for legal analysis, and is compatible with a student-centred learning approach."--BOOK JACKET.
