Description
Employing the unique, time-tested Examples & Explanations pedagogy, Examples & Explanations for Criminal Law combines textual material with well-written and comprehensive examples, explanations, and questions to test students’ comprehension of the materials and to provide practice in applying information to fact patterns. The questions, which often raise a variety of issues in one fact situation, are similar to those on a law school or bar examination.
New to the Eighth Edition:
Discussion of self-defense and police use of force issues
Impact of #MeToo movement on rape law

Readable and accessible—often incorporates popular culture and humor to spark interest in students
Highly recommended—by Atticus Falcon, author of Planet Law School, an orientation guide for students about to begin law school
