'Stephen Morse, criminal law theorist, psychologist, a brilliant philosopher, and student of human nature, has been an international scholarly leader for most of his long and distinguished career.

Profound, clear, and entertaining, the concise presentation educates us all.' -- Paul H Robinson, University of Pennsylvania, US'Morse's reputation as a champion of common sense shines through in his new Advanced Introduction to Substantive Criminal Law.
