The 8th edition of Criminal Laws maintains the distinctive features which have established the book as a leading Australian work for 35 years. It has been extensively updated, including legislation, case law, and policy. It features the latest research on the operation and impact of criminal laws, from policing to punishment, along with up-to-date quantitative and qualitative data that illuminate the lived experience of crime victims, accused persons and offenders. The 8th edition features a large and strong author team with expertise across criminal law, criminalisation theory, policing, criminology and crime policy.

Criminal Laws remains, as one review put it, simultaneously a "textbook, casebook, handbook and reference work". It is ideal for criminal law and criminal justice courses as a teaching text, combining as it does primary sources with extensive critical commentary and a contextual perspective. It is indispensable to practitioners for its detailed coverage of substantive law. Its coverage of research developments, extensive references and inter-disciplinary approach, make it a first point of call for researchers from all disciplines.
