The Sexual Offences Act 2003 is a significant and far-reaching piece of legislation that codifies and revises the existing legislation relating to sexual activities. A considerable number of new crimes have been introduced or redefined, along with the criminalization of certain types of conduct not previously covered by legislation. This book provides a full, clear analysis of the Act, and covers in detail issues such as rape, child sexual abuse, adults with mental disorders and learning disabilities, sex offenders, and recent developments in the law of evidence. It is intended to be of practical benefit to all practitioners, whether legally qualified or not, and aims to set out and explain the provisions of this major enactment in an understandable and accessible fashion.
