Criminal Practice
Mastering the law of England and Wales

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Criminal Practice is a core area of legal training that explains how criminal cases are investigated, prosecuted, defended, and resolved through the courts of England and Wales. It brings together police powers, defendants’ rights, criminal procedure, evidence, trial practice, sentencing, appeals, and youth justice.

This audiobook provides a structured and practical introduction to the key principles of criminal practice, with a particular focus on the knowledge required for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE). It explains police detention and interviews under PACE, identification procedures, bail, first appearances, plea before venue, allocation hearings, case management, disclosure, and legal aid.

It also examines the rules of criminal evidence, including confessions, hearsay, bad character evidence, adverse inferences, witness competence and compellability, special measures, and the exclusion of evidence. The course then considers trial procedure, sentencing principles, aggravating and mitigating factors, appeals, prosecution appeals, and the Youth Court.

Important statutory rules and procedural principles are explained in context so that listeners can understand not only what the law requires, but also how criminal cases progress in practice.

Designed for law students, SQE candidates, and anyone seeking a clear understanding of criminal procedure in England and Wales, this audiobook presents Criminal Practice in a systematic, practical, and accessible way.
