Overview

"This book is updated to incorporate changes made by the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, together with information on its implementation. Cases interpreting the Criminal Justice Acts of 1991 and 1993 are fully dealt with, as are recent developments in the law, relating to disclosure and the new Code for Crown Prosecutors. The book describes what happens in a trial on indictment, and in a summary trial in the magistrate's court, as well as proceedings in the juvenile court. It is intended to be useful to students preparing for professional examinations and also as a reference for the busy practitioner. The book explains how prosecutions are commenced and deals in turn with trial, sentencing and appeals, as well as what happens prior to the first court appearance, the granting of bail and legal aid. The text concludes with an imaginary brief which enables the reader to put into a practical context much of the theory previously explained. The book is divided into six parts, covering the major elements of criminal procedure: introduction, trial on indictment, summary trial, sentencing, appeals and ancillary matters such as bail and legal aid. John Sprack is the co-author of ""Blackstone's Criminal Practice""."
