Features: This book uses plain language to delve deeply into the fundamental principles of English criminal law, and in terms of the choice of argumentative approach, it can be said to fully embody the "spirit of common law." First, it does not discuss general criminal theory issues, but instead distributes them into specific crime analyses. This approach, which avoids the emptiness of grand narratives and embeds theoretical seeds in solid judicial practice, is worth noting. At the same time, this strategy also prevents the potential drawbacks of purely analyzing cases. Second, in the discussion of specific crimes, it fully combines substantive rules of criminal law with procedural law provisions.
