Criminal Law in Queensland offers critical perspectives on the many facets of contemporary criminal justice, presenting those issues in their current and comparative contexts. This book seeks to: facilitate the study of criminal law; explore and analyse general principles of criminal law and its specific offences and defences; and draw comparisons between developments in common law and in the various Australian criminal law jurisdictions. The book is divided into four parts: Part 1 introduces the general principles of criminal responsibility, explores the sources and subjects of criminal law, and outlines the evolution of criminal law in Queensland. Part 2 discusses extensions to criminal liability. Part 3 focuses on specific offences. Part 4 examines defences to criminal responsibility. - Publisher's website.
