Ross on Crime Tenth Edition is a unique, renowned and indispensable point of reference for all criminal law practitioners. It covers more than 350 terms and principles relating to criminal law practice in an easy-to-use A-to-Z format. As well as a succinct statement of the law on a particular subject, there is a summary of the leading case law in the area. It is the only Australian work that considers all aspects of criminal justice - substantive criminal law, criminal procedure, evidence and sentencing – and which does so across all Australian jurisdictions. The Tenth Edition incorporates many new case law decisions and legislative changes that have occurred since the last edition. These include: Over 25 new High Court cases; Elaboration of rape shield laws; Clarification of the tendency evidence rule; Additional discussion of the key sentencing principles; Discussion on the ethical duties of criminal lawyers; Clarification of the abuse of process principle; Elaboration on rescinding a plea of guilty; Legislative developments relating to the human rights charters. Mirko Bagaric once again updates the encyclopedic format and impressive scope established by the late David Ross QC, ensuring this distinctive title maintains its unique and accessible treatment of criminal law in Australia. - Publisher's website.
