The aim of this book is to provide the key criminal law statutes that apply to English criminal law. They are printed incorporating any amendments made by 1st May 2012. At the end of each statute I have referred to the legislation which has amended the original legislation. The statutes are published in chronological order. However, there are also indices of them alphabetically and thematically. There are over 10,000 offences in English law and, of course, it has not been possible to include them all. I have selected those which most commonly are used in undergraduate criminal law courses or are of general interest. I am grateful to Damian Mitchell and Emma Nugent at Routledge for their help and advice in preparing this book.
