Description

Archbold is a regularly cited publication in the criminal courts and a companion for all those involved in the administration of criminal law. It provides the reader with all the material needed when preparing for and during a trial, including both substantive law and the practice and procedure of the courts. The 2001 edition updates sentencing law as consolidated by the Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000, and Human Rights law in anticipation of the Act coming into force. It addresses the gradual implementation of the Access to Justice Act 1999 and the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999. There are practice directions and recent cases, such as R v Antoine, R v Z and Morgan v DPP (House of Lords), discussing issues such as diminished responsibility, inferences from silence, custody time limits, disclosure and similar fact evidence.
