Description

"Principles of Criminal Law, 3rd edition" is a brief text that is ideal for survey courses. The text uses a narrative approach that presents background information necessary to understand the principles involved in criminal law and set forth the elements of the major crimes. Short, succinct edited cases in certain chapters help readers improve their grasp of important topics. Also, a Built-in Study Guide, at the end of each chapter, reviews the chapter material and asks questions designed to highlight the key principles set forth in the chapter.
