This new edition covers all the most significant developments that have occurred since the last edition appeared, with the chief amongst these being the changes instigated by the provisions of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, which has removed the last of the mandatory corroboration warnings and rewritten the law on the 'right of silence', as well as those made under the Criminal Justice Acts of 1991 and 1993.
