- an examination of perjury
- reflections upon diminished responsibility
- the interaction between provocation and self-defence

- the continuing influence of the European Convention on Human Rights and related jurisprudence

The main common law and statutory offences are covered under the following sections:

- Offences against the person including homicide and sexual offences
- Social protection offences including the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and road traffic offences
- Property offences including theft, robbery, embezzlement and malicious mischief
