Each initial edition of Blackstone’s Criminal Practice (BCP) consists of two works published at once:

• The “main work”, divided into Parts A-F
• Supplement 1, divided into the following 4 parts:
  • Criminal Procedure Rules
  • Criminal Practice Directions [NEW YEAR]
  • Criminal Practice Directions [OLD YEAR]: retained directions
  • Sentencing Guidelines

Each additional supplement (i.e. Supplement 2, Supplement 3) amends BOTH the main work and the first supplement.

These additional supplements are divided into 10 Parts, with the first 6 parts being updates to the main work commentary, and parts 7 to 10 containing updates to the reproduced legislation in the first supplement.

The relationship between each Part is as follows:

Supplement 2 or 3	Is an update of
Supplement to Part A	Main work: Part A
Supplement to Part B	Main work: Part B
Supplement to Part C	Main work: Part C
Supplement to Part D	Main work: Part D
Supplement to Part E	Main work: Part E
Supplement to Part F	Main work: Part F
