Description
In addition to offering a comprehensive survey of the major concepts and doctrines in criminal law, a unique feature of this book are the many provocative and teachable case selections used to illustrate major concepts. The facts of virtually every case lend themselves to creative teaching and will stick in the memories of both instructor and students. Meanwhile, lucidly organized notes following the cases deliver both doctrine and interesting tangents with clarity and brevity.
The new edition also incorporates the most recent significant cases and scholarship, including recent application of traditional criminal law concepts in more complex ""modern"" contexts such as white collar crime. Special features of the book include:
The cases and commentaries promote a clear and thorough presentation of causation, the crime of attempt, group criminality, and defenses.
The authors draw attention to the intersection of civil and criminal liability, encouraging students to consider the differences between criminal law and other types of legal regulation.
