Synopsis

The third edition of this bestselling book has been thoroughly revised to take into account recent developments in the law and includes a new chapter on extradition.

The only textbook that explores criminal practice and procedure as it relates to the Commonwealth Caribbean, the book clarifies the state law in each of the eleven jurisdictions, making it clear when laws are the same or similar and highlighting where differences between jurisdictions occur.

Both statute law and common law are examined in the relevant jurisdictions which include Trinidad, Tobago, Guyana, Barbados, Jamaica and Grenada amongst others. The impact of statutory changes in the laws are analyzed, as well as recent developments in the common law. Throughout the text the statutory law in the Commonwealth Caribbean is compared to similar English legislation, in the light of the analysis of such legislation in English case law. Commonwealth Caribbean Criminal Practice and Procedure is the recommended textbook for all professional law schools in the Commonwealth Caribbean and is used at regional universities as a reference book for criminal justice students. In addition, as the only the book which deals specifically with criminal practice and procedure in the regions, it has proved a valuable reference tool for legal practitioners, judicial officers and police officers.
