"Imagine the scenario, client facing charges spanning one or more pieces of legislation dealing with sexual offending. What are the limitation periods? What are the penalties? Which offence should and should not be charged? Where is that 1972 copy of Archbold when you need it?

Worry not, this excellent little book contains a wealth of information to steer practitioners through the complex minefield that is sexual offences legislation. I cannot for the life of me see how any firm or chambers could get by without a copy (or without keeping 50 years of Archbold). Buy it!"

- Andrew Keogh, Crimeline
