Homicide in criminal law: a research companion (1st)

This volume presents a leading contribution to the substantive arena relating to homicide in the criminal law.

In broad terms, the ambit of homicide standardisations in extant law is contestable and opaque.

It provides a logical template to focus the debate. The overall concept addresses three specific elements within this arena, embracing an overarching synergy between them.

This edifice engages in an examination of UK provisions, and in contrasting these provisions against alternative domestic jurisdictions as well as comparative contributions addressing a particularised research grid for content.

The comparative chapters provide a wider background of how other legal systems treat a variety of specialised issues relating to homicide in the context of the criminal law.
