Principles of Criminal Law is a clear, efficient introduction to criminal law viewed through the lens of human behavior. Concise enough for a one-semester course, it provides critical background information, establishes elements of major crimes, and covers a vast range of crimes, including white-collar, victimless and political crimes, without dense citations or lengthy discussion. A narrative approach is used in place of the casebook perspective typical of law texts.
The 7th Edition has new information on organized and white-collar crime, up-to-date marijuana laws, and additional content on specific crimes and legal rules. Cases and critical-thinking features challenge you to think critically about complex legal issues.
