It is one of the "main" books that lawyers practising on the criminal side use.[2] The Crown Prosecution Service describe this book as a "standard source"[3] 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.[4] By 2002, it was the "leading" work for proceedings in the magistrates' courts.[5]
