DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis text provides students and practitioners with a comprehensive and current guide to the fundamentals of the criminal law in Queensland and Western Australia. It also has direct application in other Code jurisdictions, such as Tasmania. In Western Australia, there has been a major restructure of procedural aspects of the state's criminal law, through the repeal of the Justices Act 1902 and many provisions in the Criminal Code. These were replaced by other statutes including the Criminal Procedure Act 2004, the Criminal Appeals Act 2004 and the Criminal Investigation Act 2006. This legislation has introduced more streamlined procedures. The Criminal Code in Western Australia was also amended to more succinctly provide for circumstance where a person may be convicted of an offence as an alternative to that which was the subject of the initial charge. In Queensland, statutory changed have been less extensive. However, a significant amendment relates to the double jeopardy rules so that, in certain circumstances where there is fresh and compelling evidence, a person acquitted of a crime may be ordered by the Court of Appeal to be retried. These case law and statutory developments all have been incorporated into this 7th edition.

It covers the Criminal Codes of the states and other significant state and Commonwealth legislation together with related decisions of the courts. Although primarily designed for university law students, it will also provide a convenient aid for legal practitioners. Legislative reforms have required much re-writing in the chapters on murder and manslaughter, defensive force, provocation, compulsion and emergency, and committals and trials. There have also been a host of updates required by developments in the case-law. The new cases for this edition include the decisions of the High Court of Australia in Braysich (on evidentiary burdens), Pollock (on provocation), Taiapa (on compulsion), Keenan (on common purpose liability), Gedeon (on entrapment), Dupas (on prejudicial publicity) and White (on proceeds of crime).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis sixth edition of The Criminal Codes: Commentary and Materials has been substantially revised to increase overall clarity and to ensure a balanced examination of the criminal law in the "Code" States, Queensland and Western Australia. The work has been brought up-to-date in all areas and provides valuable comment on the recent wide-reaching reforms to the law of homicide in Western Australia. Significant developments in both States discussed in this edition include: the abolition of wilful murder and infanticide, and the new definition of murder (WA); the introduction of the new offence of unlawful assault causing death (WA); the abolition of provocation to murder (WA), and whether this excuse still has a part to play (Qld); the reformulation of the excuse of self defence, and the introduction of excessive self defence (WA); the creation of offences for drink spiking (Qld and WA); and current and proposed sentencing considerations (Qld and WA). Fundamental principles of the criminal law are illustrated throughout the book by selected extracts from the Codes and case law, while additional materials foster critical reflection on the law and the need for reform. The Criminal Codes: Commentary and Materials, 6th Edition is essential reading for students studying criminal law in Western Australia and Queensland.
