Editorial Reviews

'The author is able to succinctly identify the main points in relation to each area and uses selected case law and statutory provisions to great effect.' - New Law Journal

'I greatly enjoyed this book and at the end was genuinely surprised as a criminal lawyer at just how much I did not know about this central component of the criminal justice system. Both students and practioners will find much interest within the 260 pages of text and I highly recommend its purchase.'

- Andrew Keogh, Tuckers
