Summary

This book presents Australia’s criminal law as a vast set of statutory provisions, mostly consisting of provisions defining criminal offences. It examines how to read such offence provisions and how they are applied by and to various people.

Somewhat surprisingly, this is a radically different approach from the ones taken in most criminal law books. It may even be unique.
