This is a self-contained but comprehensive account of Offences Against the Person, which forms a major part of the criminal law. It covers the general principles of actus reus and mens rea as they apply to such offences, as well as the specific statutory and common law rules governing particular crimes.
Areas covered include: homicide; non-fatal offences; and sexual offences. General defences, such as self-defence and duress are discussed, as well as those which are only available in relation to particular offences (such as provocation and diminished responsibility).
