Description
This is the first comprehensive text devoted to the law on sexual offences in Singapore. In recent years, apart from a general rise in the number of sexual offences – with sexual offences remaining a top crime of concern for the law enforcement authorities – there have also been a stiffening of sentences for sexual offences and introduction of new sexual offences, including specific offences to align with evolving technology trends.
Against this developing landscape, this book covers the relevant legislation on sexual offences (including the latest legislative amendments); discusses common issues relating to evidence and procedure in the context of sexual offences; and provides a comprehensive repository of sentencing precedents and applicable sentencing frameworks. Where appropriate, it also offers critique on specific issues and areas which may be ripe for reform, legislative or otherwise.
This book is a must-have for criminal practitioners, academics and government officers prosecuting, defending or researching on sexual offences.
