This work brings together those acts, or sections of acts, which create statutory offences, with authoritative annotation. It includes statutory offences created by the Scottish parliament and deals with summary applications. (Includes service to the end of 1999).

The number of offences created by statute has increased dramatically in recent years and this trend is likely to continue. Until now, there has been no single source bringing together details of offences created by an Act or statutory instrument. Renton & Brown's Statutory Offences comprises two looseleaf volumes providing Scotland's criminal law practitioners with an ideal companion to both Renton & Brown's Criminal Procedure Sixth Edition and Renton & Brown's Criminal Procedure Legislation. This looseleaf brings together the legislation which create statutory offences, with authoritative annotations. The flexible looseleaf format allows for the inclusion of new statutory offences created by the Scottish Parliament and updating of annotations. In the practical looseleaf style, this is the first book or looseleaf to deal with this continually growing area.
