New edition textbook or not?

[ashoni]

Hi guys, was just wondering whether i should get the Justice & Outcomes 12th edition textbook or the older 11th edition? Would there be any drastic changes from the old to the new textbooks? And is it worth buying the new one?

Honestly, acquiring the new edition textbooks are always the smarter choice - due to changes in the legal system, they are generally included within the newer textbooks which will allow for you to make more accurate responses in your answers, an example of this may be the recent change from 'Community Based Orders' to "Community Corrections Orders", outdated changes tend to permeate the older textbooks, which is why your school may advise that you shouldn't get them. Unless you are desperate for a cheaper textbook, you wouldn't be wanting to pick up an older edition.
Hope this helps

There is a new edition? My schools making us use the 11e edition for next year, think I might also invest in getting the newer one your talking about! ;o;

Haha, yeah - my school is also using the same edition of textbook that was created for 2011 
But if there is a newer edition, GRAB IT

Bio is quite different than Legal Studies though, hehe

You will need the new text book. Every year there is a new textbook as there are changes in the legal system that students need to know (i.e. names of important MP's). It doesn't take a genius to work that one out.

Always:
1) Compare the new and old textbook (physically compare the content of random pages for difference)
2) Try and get the newer one if you can, unless through 1) you find next to no changes
