Part of the John C. Klotter Justice Administration Legal Series
Combining the best features of a casebook and a textbook, this classic text deals with substantive criminal law, and explores the principles, sources, distinctions and limitations of criminal law. Definitions and elements of crimes are explained, and defenses to crimes are thoroughly analyzed. Strengths continue to be the comprehensive footnotes, coverage of the federal criminal code, and specific recognition of the common law origins of modern law. Federal law coverage is now consolidated into two chapters.
Each chapter in this thoroughly updated edition contains a list of key terms that are defined in the glossary, guidance to help the student understand what is important in each chapter, as well as a new Legal News section that highlights current criminal law issues.
Part II gives students the opportunity to read real cases, with aids to help them identify the issues and holdings.
Study Guide The Student Study Guide starts with instruction on briefing cases. Each chapter’s study tools are divided into objectives, scope and transition, discussion outline and open-ended review questions. The Guide accompanies each new textbook FREE, and is not available separately.
**In addition to a free study guide, a CD-ROM containing complete text of all the cases referenced in the textbook is included.**
