It also includes information on victim rights and protections. The book also focuses on the procedural consequences of the conviction or acquittal of a case. Some of the substantive content includes: The book has been widely acclaimed for its quality. It is widely regarded as one of the best text-books in law in Nigeria, and is used as a source of reference by all the Nigerian Bar. As with most Nigerian Bar books, it has been translated into Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo. Its use as a reference material among lawyers stems from its generic approach to criminal law- a text with a generalist orientation. Although not written for a legal practice audience that does not deal with crimes, it can serve as an excellent source of information that lawyers cannot miss during their study or research. It serves as a relevant aid to the entire criminal justice system, not only those involved in it. The book is divided into three Parts: Preface, Part I, and Part II.
