Criminal Law Case Studies (American Casebook Series)

Criminal Law Case Studies (American Casebook Series) by Robinson, Paul. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780314908629.

This title makes complex criminal law issues more accessible to students by examining the facts of carefully-selected real-life case studies. The new edition has four exciting and timely new cases added, along with all accompanying material. Included in the text are details regarding the offenders background, the nature of the offense, all relevant facts of the case, photographs of the people and locations of the offense, and the texts of both then-governing and current statutes. This unique approach entices analytical thinking about what that law is and should be, and, via the inclusion of the aftermaths of each case, encourages discussion about what actually happened to the defendant and why.
