Actually explains the topics and covers everything VERY in depth

Not 5 stars because by itself is a bit overwhelming especially since only 1 semester. however, out of all of my textbooks this is the only one that actually explained everything and went in depth with policy.

good book of criminal law

This textbook is very clearly written and, contrary to a lot of others book, it is not just a series of cases, on efollowing the others. It provides a very good basis for a criminal law class.

WoW !!!!!

Great Book haven't got to that class yet but I reviewed it and it is great!!!!

A good criminal law casebook

This was my casebook for 1st year Criminal Law. It is a good casebook, and does a good job of summarizing the law in addition to a decent job of editing the cases. I would strongly recommend purchasing Understanding Criminal Law by Dressler in addition to this book.
