Synopsis
This refreshing new alternative for the first-year Criminal Law course is a lively coursebook that blends text, statutes, cases, and problems in a presentation that is user-friendly for both students and instructors.

- goes beyond the traditional focus on the judiciary to also examine the role of the legislature and the executive in defining offenses
- clear, direct text introduces statutes, cases, and problems
- the materials support a wide array of teaching techniques to address varied student learning styles
- within each section, the authors introduce the basics and then the materials grow progressively more challenging
- includes both modern and classic criminal cases
- includes material on ethics and highlights criminal law perspectives

Review
"I continue to be thrilled with [this] textbook... The text is truly 'contemporary' in that the cases and problems are drawn from recent, high-profile cases. This greatly enhances the pedagogical experience because students remember many of these cases from their own, pre-law school experiences... I love the statutory focus and the fact that the book includes representative statutes from virtually every state."
