The background to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) is well documented in Chapter 2 and the following chapter deals with human rights in the British and European context in a lucid and elegant way. In all the legal chapters, the relevant case law is analyzed very competently. The differences between Scots and English law are clearly explained as are comparisons with other common law jurisdictions, including the United States. The relationship between the common law and international human rights instruments is examined as is the importance of justiciable rights originally enshrined in the US Bill of Rights. - John Pointing, Barrister and London South Bank University, Oxford University Press Journals, British Journal of Criminology
