Opis

First published in 1940, R.M. Jackson's Machinery of Justice in England long has been established as the classic text on the subject, unparalleled in its lucidity, breadth of treatment, and critical engagement with the issues involved. For this eighth edition, J.R. Spencer has undertaken a further full-scale revision, incorporating such major recent innovations as the Police and Criminal Evidence Act of 1984 and the Prosecution of Offences Act of 1985.

Recenzje

' … the work remains the classic textbook in this field for the law student, the interested layman and the foreign reader, all of whom will find a concise and remarkably accurate and readable account of the way in which justice is administered in England.' New Law Journal
