This is a comprehensive, insightful, lucid, intense and unrivalled text
on the general part of the criminal law in Cameroon. Beginning with an
account of the historical development of the criminal law generally, the
author proceeds to analyse and discuss in detail the principles
governing application of the criminal law, criminal responsibility,
participation in crime, penalties, and sentencing. These principles are
broadly the same in other jurisdictions. The book balances theoretical
content with case-law illustrations to enhance readability,
comprehension and assimilation. It is an invaluable source and essential
reading for law students and teachers, and lawyers in private practice
and government service.
