Now in its fourth edition, Troy Anderson's Commonwealth Criminal Law is the only comprehensive text dedicated to the Commonwealth criminal law - the offences, element analyses and sentencing. This edition reflects new case law and amendments to legislation and has a new chapter entirely dedicated to Commonwealth agencies' ability to investigate suspected offences.

The book covers the general principles of criminal responsibility created under the Criminal Code 1995 (Cth) and contains chapters dealing with the most commonly prosecuted offences. These include fraud against the Commonwealth, exploitation, money laundering, drug importation, terrorism and corporate crime. Each of these chapters also sets out the relevant sentencing principles applicable to these offences.

Commonwealth criminal law represents an expanding area of practice and this text has deliberately been designed to be useful for the busy practitioner, magistrate or judge who needs a quick understanding of a concept as well as for students seeking an overview of how Commonwealth criminal law intersects with State and Territory criminal law.
