Criminal Law Case Studies (American Casebook Series) 4th Edition

by Paul Robinson (Author)
4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 11 ratings
See all formats and editions
This title makes complex criminal law issues more accessible to students by examining the facts of carefully-selected real-life case studies. The new edition has four exciting and timely new cases added, along with all accompanying material. Included in the text are details regarding the offender's background, the nature of the offense, all relevant facts of the case, photographs of the people and locations of the offense, and the texts of both then-governing and current statutes. This unique approach entices analytical thinking about what that law is and should be, and, via the inclusion of the aftermaths of each case, encourages discussion about what actually happened to the defendant and why.

    5.0 out of 5 stars but I absolutely loved reading this
    Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2016

    I normally don't add product reviews for textbooks since they're kind of a necessity in law school, but I absolutely loved reading this. These case studies read like a novel rather than a textbook, and I found myself reading it for fun even when we didn't have an assigned case. The book of course focuses on law rather than storytelling, but also offers a background for each case that really includes psychological background for many of the defendants, and personalizes the parties unlike any textbook I've read before. I recommend reading this not only as a student, but if you're a criminal law hobbyist or just looking for some interesting bathroom reading material.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Had to Buy it for Class

    Honestly, I do feel this is more expensive than it was worth. Although it was new, there is not much use to this other than being a book with a few more examples.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Not an effective learning tool.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2012

    This was a required text for my class.

    It is too much work for too little payoff. The laws in the case study were the actual laws from the state where the crime actually occurred. This is fine and dandy, except you'll be learning a lot of laws that you will not be tested on.

    A better book along similar lines is Learning Criminal Law as Advocacy Argument: Complete with Exam Problems & Answers by John Delaney. Delaney's book is the only reason I got a good grade in criminal law.
