Edinburgh University Press, 2025

Now in its third edition, Scots Criminal Law: A Critical Analysis provides a clear statement of the current law, updated to reflect changes in the law which have occurred in the past 11 years. Retaining the theoretical and critical focus of its previous editions, it also considers what types of behaviours should be subject to the criminal sanction, and why. More than 100 new cases have been referenced, as have dozens of new statutory offences, including those created by the Human Trafficking and Exploitation (Scotland) Act 2015, the Abusive Behaviour and Sexual Harm (Scotland) Act 2016, the Domestic Abuse (Scotland) Act 2018, and the Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act 2021. While the book is suitable for use by students and practitioners alike, it is also stimulating for anyone with an interest in the future development of criminal law.
