      A Dialectic Approach to Criminal Law - Dr. Michael Dassama

      Preface

      The study of criminal law is interesting and quite challenging as it broadens intellectual horizon and, makes receptivity more subjective on the basis of its variant course patterns in which, it is structured. Because it is based on every day happenings in which it tend to depict, both the state and the individual in relation to offences. Criminal law has always attracted academic interest of students of law than most other areas of law disciplines in institutions of learning; due to its dynamic importance in the labour market for easy job prospects. It is common place to emphasise that, criminal lawyers tend to be more socially vibrant and highly engaging when it comes to court attendance in juxtaposition to other disciplines in law.

      Due to the enormity of criminal cases, pressure tends to be mounted on both the crown prosecution service which is a, state apprentices in conjunction with litigants. What should be noted is, differences in criminal interpretations within geo-political boundaries does not defaced the reality of importance of criminal law because, the protection of people and society against lawlessness, is common placed which cannot be deluded. In this regard, it is my intention in this book to create awareness and to establish relativity of common ground in the understanding of criminal law. Although many text books and other reading materials have been written and published on criminal law yet, the complexity of style and presentation of material facts, has in many ways, left students in a state of bewilderment due to the ‘crab nature’ in which some of those texts were written. The primary aim of this exercise is to present a user friendly text which will not, only assist students in the understanding of criminal law as it ought to be but also, to have confident in themselves in relation to the subject matter.

      Students are usually in the habit of excessively memorizing legal texts which in most cases are, responsible for brain fag or failure in complex examination situation thus culminating to unsatisfactory examination results. In addressing this all important critical problem, it is my intention to present this book in easy readable version with, simplified case law to enhance better and comprehensive understanding of every argument as much as possible. In this regard, it is my expectation that materials in this book, could enhanced students with the opportunity of an in- depth knowledge of the subject matter both for examination purpose and as well as, for professional recapitulation exercises.

      Over the years, students of law have had difficulty in assimilating law texts because of the ‘higgledy-piggledy’ conceptual nature in which, most of those books have been written. A disheartening confrontation of such challenges which presents itself to students has been by-and-large, culminated to frustration and possible change of discipline. The situational circumstances which, had bedevilled students for such protraction of time, had gingered the production of this book with the intention of, easing anxiety and mental perturbation.

      It is not sufficient an idea to rely on just one text book for the study of criminal law because, variety of ideas from different text books, will not only provide students with multiple content based knowledge to study criminal law but also, enhances students with recapitulation exercises in dealing with complex case studies. Although it is essential to note that, materials which constitute the completion of this book project, are found in almost all text books related to the study of law within this dimension yet, the simplistic and flexible pattern adopted to enhance assimilation of material facts, makes all the difference.

      Since it is not literally possible to cover all cases related to this field, it is therefore essential for students, to endeavour extra research into current case law through electronic media and major news papers where some of these cases could be easily accessed. It is extremely important for current cases to be enshrined within legal presentation especially where, such matter requires codification and analysis. Students are also advised to use other text books and any related material to enhance better understanding of the subject and at the same time, be able to juxtapose various arguments and thus, to objectively surmised relevant points for perusal. It is against this background that, students will be gearing their interest in criminal law which this book, tend to provide especially where complex and crabby phrases are put in simplistic format for easy understanding.

      Over the years as lecturer of this subject, in various colleges in London, United Kingdom, my observation has been the inability of most students to paraphrase legal arguments especially in examination condition within the scope of limited, allotted time frame. In this regard, outcome of examination result tend to be, unsatisfactory and highly very disappointing due to the rambling and inconsistencies that most examination scripts, tend to have.

      The aim of this text is to overcome those shortcomings and pitfalls so that students will have a better understanding how to maximise their time in exams condition by applying requisite skills and knowledge provided in this book project. It should be noted that those student, who uses time and material facts objectively tend to do well than those who, randomly rumbled in exams condition. Precision and much clarity in answering questions, could be a bench-mark in examination success as it encourages examiners to concentrate on the trends of arguments that is expostulated in answering respective questions than those who may be in the bad habit of, using elaborately and undulating expressions that could be a bit verbose and highly distasteful in the eyes of examiners.

      In this regard, it is my desire to making necessary inputs which may serve as springboard in this book project, capable of motivating and at the same time, providing guidelines to answering questions under examination tension by, presenting synopsis in most case law for qualitative precision.

      For this purpose, it is intended to divide the book into two parts of which part one will be looking at probability testing, analysis and subjectivity while, part two will be more concretized in putting the various arguments into comprehensive readable format backed-up by various contesting and appreciable
