Inchoate offences19. Backcover copy“ The best textbook pitched at undergraduate level and intended to provoke informed evaluation of the subject matter.” David Radlett, University of Kent“a very clearly written work which integrates doctrine and theory very well. The author clearly always has the student’s learning needs in mind throughoutbut there is no sense of ‘dumbing down’ in any way. In fact, the book offers many insights of interest to scholars and pracitioners.” Mark Telford, University of Southampton“a sophisticated theoretical and doctrinal introduction to the foundations of English criminal law which is lucidly written” Prabha Kotiswaran, SOAS“ Quite right, the first edition was greeted with great acclaim, largely because the book reflects an appropriate balance between doctrine and theory.
