Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"I continue to be thrilled with [this] textbook... The text is truly 'contemporary' in that the cases and problems are drawn from recent, high-profile cases. This greatly enhances the pedagogical experience because students remember many of these cases from their own, pre-law school experiences... I love the statutory focus and the fact that the book includes representative statutes from virtually every state."

Reseña del editor:

This refreshing new alternative for the first-year Criminal Law course is a lively coursebook that blends text, statutes, cases, and problems in a presentation that is user-friendly for both students and instructors.

These distinctive characteristics make CRIMINAL LAW: A CONTEMPORARY APPROACH both effective and engaging:

shorter length and with a rich and diverse mix of materials that promotes intellectual challenge without sacrificing accessibility

the authors treat criminal law as an introduction to both statutes and cases and emphasize statutes as a primary source, with explicit treatment of statutory drafting and interpretation issues

goes beyond the traditional focus on the judiciary to also examine the role of the legislature and the executive in defining offenses

clear, direct text introduces statutes, cases, and problems

the materials support a wide array of teaching techniques to address varied student learning styles

within each section, the authors introduce the basics and then the materials grow progressively more challenging

includes both modern and classic criminal cases

includes material on ethics and highlights criminal law perspectives

The casebook is part of a comprehensive teaching package that includes a videotape discussion of one of the homicide cases in the book, PowerPoint slides, and an extensive Teacher's Manual featuring:

support for a range of teaching options on each topic, such as problems, simulations, role plays, and the traditional question-and-answer approach

video suggestions

graphics that can be easily reproduced and customized

Recognition of the potential difficulty of teaching topics such as rape and domestic violence and detailed suggestions for teaching approaches to them

sample syllabi for three- and four-credit courses
