Book Description

This well-known casebook is a useful resource for teaching students the common law foundations of the criminal law as well as modern statutory reform, particularly the Model Penal Code. This is accomplished through the selection of examples that are both historical and contemporary in nature. Along the way, the casebook considers modern controversies (such as “shaming” punishment, capital punishment, broadening sexual assault law, self-defense by battered women, euthanasia, the role of culture in determining culpability), and creatively uses literature (such as examining insanity through Edgar Allen Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart) and even “brain teasers” to confront (as the Preface states) “the Big Questions The Eighth Edition, similar to previous editions, includes new cases. Additionally, the annotations have been updated to reflect recent developments in criminal law and bring such developments to the forefront.
