FOR E WOR D
It is a great pleasure to wr ite this foreword to the seventh edition of my
colleague Kent Roach’s book, Criminal Law. There is no Canadian book
like it and all those study ing criminal law will be indebted to Professor
Roach for his very readable and careful analysis of Canadian criminal
law. This book will be an excellent companion for students in crim-
inal law courses both in the law schools and criminology and criminal
justice departments. As is demonstrated by its citation by the Supreme
Court and other courts, even judges and sea soned criminal lawyers w ill
benefit from reading the thoughtful views on the basic principles of
criminal law articulated in this book. In addition, it deals with many
new developments in criminal law, such as new developments relating
to sexual as sault offences and the provocation defence, as well as infanti-
cide. The fact that Professor Roach has acted as counsel in a number of
important Charter and sentencing cases discussed in the book provides
an added dimension to this work. This thoroughly revised seventh edi-
tion, like the earlier editions, is destined to be widely used and praised.
I look forward to many future editions of this valuable book.
