Product description
This book focuses on the law of criminal procedure and sentencing in Western Australia. A considerable body of legislation and decisions has been in place for a period of time in Western Australia on both these subjects. This book consolidates this vast subject matter in a straightforward and practical manner.
Drawing on the author’s experience as a state prosecutor, in-house legal adviser, defence lawyer and criminal law tutor, the book provides an essential practical addition for the courts, practitioners, and students alike. The result is a summary of the law for students and younger lawyers, while providing a base for practitioners’ research.
Features
• tables summarising more complicated areas such as joinder, jurisdiction, bail, trial by judge alone, standards of proof in challenging various admissions and spent convictions;
• extracted principles for selected offences when it comes to sentencing. A key feature is an explanation of breach powers in sentencing; and
• an emphasis and explanation of criminal procedure and sentencing in the Children’s Court.
