The best textbook ever for CJ or Criminal Law classes

I had this book for 1.5 years and used it in Criminal Justice and Criminal Law classes. It is great because it lists the criminal law cases at the end of the book and has a glossary. Sometimes there is a lot of law lingo inolved and one must "get it", but in general it is good to understand. I highly recommend this book and will keep it for future reference.

If you are a criminal justice major, this book is a must!!!

This book is excellent in explaining concepts of criminal law. It is extremely detailed in the Penal Code and the justice system statues. It has an excellent reference section in the back of the book. It provides definitions and a glossary. This book breaks up the sections of criminal law to give you individual overviews of each topic. Very detailed. Excellent BOOK!!
