Description
"[This book focuses on the] intellectual and theoretical issues that arise from how crimes actually get defined and applied today by state and federal legislatures, trial and appellate courts, police, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and juries. New features [for this edition]: new coverage of the controversial issue of police use of deadly force, which--together with the existing section on 'stand your ground' laws--facilitates class discussion of the "Black Lives Matter" movement and the shootings of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and Eric Garner, among others; new chapter on Gun Crimes, including the Supreme Court's 2016 decision upholding the criminalization of gun ownership for those convicted of domestic violence crimes; updated chapter on federal criminal law, including the court's 2016 Elonis decision; updated coverage of criminal cases involving the over-prescription of opoid painkillers and other kinds of prescription medications; and updated materials on rape, incorporating coverage of 'yes means yes' laws and policies."--
