Criminal Law

Bonnie, Couglin, Jeffries and Low's Criminal Law positions the authors' authoritative grasp of the subject against a background of cultural and political debate. As a result the text deals with some of profound questions that are integral to the study of criminal law in a changing society: current controversies in the law of rape and sexual assault, the Bernard Goetz case and the use of deadly force in self-defense, the insanity defense, capital punishment. One volume.
