UP-TO-DATE LAW AND FREE INTERACTIVE EXERCISES plus you only buy what you need! Written by an experienced teacher and senior examiner, this book contains revision summaries, exercises and examination practice for criminal law, offences against the person, complete with answers and example examination scripts. For the free interactive exercises, please go to my website at www.drsr.org and click on 'Free Exercises' to see what's available in this area. Based on the law and cases in my 2013 book A2 Law for AQA Unit 3A, this text will, however, be useful for other criminal law courses, including OCR, Ilex and various degree courses. It covers revision of the following areas: Murder (including actus reus and mens rea generally) Voluntary manslaughter (loss of control and diminished responsibility) Involuntary manslaughter (gross negligence and unlawful act manslaughter) Non-fatal offences against the person (assault, battery, actual and grievous bodily harm, wounding with intent) Defences (insanity, automatism, intoxication, consent and self-defence) Available by Sally Russell: THE LAW EXPLAINED SERIES: Individual booklets covering specific topics of law from 2014. These booklets have lots more examples and tasks and currently cover Concepts of Law, most Criminal Law and some Tort.
