Criminal Law: An Integrated Approach

Criminal Law: An Integrated Approach is designed for a first-year law school course in criminal law. Its aim is to present an accurate overview of American criminal law as it operates in the twenty-first century, with attention to racial disparities and other inequalities and to the features of criminal law that produce these inequalities. The book covers basic principles of criminal liability and introduces students to standard definitions of property crimes, crimes against the person, and drug and gun offenses. Its approach is integrated in that students learn these areas of “substantive” law in context with the official decision-making that is crucial to the operation of criminal law in practice: criminalization, enforcement, and adjudication decisions. The ebook, available for free from www.cali.org, offers embedded multiple-choice questions to help students understand and apply the material as they learn it. The digital version of this book is available for free at http://elangdell.cali.org. CALI eLangdell Press provides this print version at no markup.
