Review :
…essential reading for anyone interested in the Law Commission Report and the future of homicide within the Criminal Justice System…a thought-provoking and timely dossier of essays which not only illuminate the reasoning for reform in England and Wales but also illustrate the differences between our own jurisdiction and others… [Horders] discussion of his preferred option of separate pieces of legislation within different “domains” is an accessible and pithy piece of policy to be commended to all those working, studying and thinking about the regulation and punishment of culpable killings...a valuable work, especially for law reformers and policy makers. ...a very readable, interesting tour of the law of murder in various jurisdictions and a useful yardstick by which to measure English law reform. ...this text provides interesting comparative analysis of homicide law in different jurisdictions by a group of scholars working in locations around the world...This book should be of particular interest to anyone involved in making legal policy decisions related to homicide law in any jurisdiction around the world. It should also be of interest to students and scholars of homicide law of any of the particular jurisdictions discussed in the book, as well as for those interested in comparative analysis of different legal systems. ...a page-turner for anybody who is interested in modern development and reform processes of homicide offenses worldwide...At the end of the book the reader is left with a broad overview of many different legal systems all over the world and their approach to homicide offenses...the book can be highly recommended to anybody working or conducting research in the field of the modern development of homicide offenses.
