Reviews:
As a law teacher, I have found this book contains just the right amount of information for A2 law students studying the new AQA specification. I have concentrated on the unit 3A offences against the person part of the book. It contains clear explanations of each topic with plenty of relevant cases. There are also sample exam questions, self-test scenarios/questions and recommendations for further reading to stretch and challenge the more able learner. I also liked the concepts of law part of the book which looks at the various theories in great depth with a broad range of case illustration. This will be an excellent teaching resource to use with my classes next year.
Good activities and accessible to all ability levels.
