Blackstone's Criminal Practice

Blackstone's Criminal Practice is a book about English criminal law. The First Edition was published by Blackstone Press in 1991. The Twenty-fourth Edition was published by Oxford University Press in 2013.

It is one of the "main" books that lawyers practising on the criminal side use.[1] The Crown Prosecution Service describe this book as a "standard source"[2] and as a "recognised legal textbook", and say that the legal guidance given on their website is no substitute for a book such as this one.[3] By 2002, it was the "leading" work for proceedings in the magistrates' courts.[4]
