Consumer Protection and the Criminal Law

"How does criminal law affect consumers? Peter Cartwright considers the role of the free market in consumer protection and asks whether the state should intervene in the relationship between consumers and producers. He considers topics such as trade descriptions and product safety, and asks whether UK law should go further to hold traders (particularly corporations) to account for their activities towards consumers. This is a study of the role of criminal law in protecting consumers and the role of criminal law in society. Peter Cartwright defends the use of criminal sanctions to control business, highlighting traditional criminal law doctrine and placing consumer law in its socioeconomic context. This is the first book to examine criminal law and consumer protection in this way."--BOOK JACKET.
