Descrição do livro

A Practical Guide to Self-Defense, Duress, Necessity, Mental Capacity, Mistake, Entrapment, Procedural Defenses, and Criminal Responsibility

Criminal defenses play an important role in determining whether a person accused of an offence should be held criminally responsible. Depending on the circumstances, the law may recognize justifications, excuses, or procedural protections that can affect the outcome of a criminal case.

CRIMINAL DEFENSES IN PRACTICE: LEGAL JUSTIFICATIONS AND EXCUSES provides a clear introduction to major criminal defenses and the legal principles behind them. It explores self-defense, protection of others, defense of property, duress, coercion, necessity, mental capacity, insanity, diminished responsibility, mistake of fact, lack of criminal intent, entrapment, abuse of authority, and procedural defenses.

Whether you are a law student, criminal justice student, legal professional, researcher, or reader interested in criminal law, this guide provides a practical foundation for understanding how criminal defenses may operate in different circumstances.

Whether you are studying law or criminal justice, conducting research, working in a legal environment, or simply interested in how criminal defenses operate, this guide provides a practical introduction to the principles behind legal justifications, excuses, and defense claims.
