Significant recent court rulings and fresh legislative developments are covered in the text in a clear and comprehensible manner.

The debate on the presence of legal counsel during the recording of statements has been included, and the recent historic Supreme Court decision on the defence of absolute privilege is examined. Updates have also been made to the Security Offenses (Special Measures) Act of 2012 ("SOSMA"procedures )'s for the arrest and custody of juveniles, as well as to the court's authority and ability to issue orders for juvenile offenders.

The thorough text is supplemented by appendices that provide significant sample papers used in criminal litigation, and extensive graphics that give a helpful overview of each issue are available for rapid reference and advice.
