Cases and Materials on Criminal Law
Primary Author(s): Dressler, Joshua | This popular casebook, through the selection of classic and modern cases, provides an excellent tool for teaching students the common law foundations of criminal law and modern statutory reform, including the Model Penal Code. Along the way, the casebook considers modern controversies (e.g., "shaming" punishment, rape law, self-defense by battered women, euthanasia, the role of culture in determining culpability), and creatively uses literature (e.g., examining insanity through Edgar Allen Poe's "The-Tell-Tale Heart") and brainteasers to confront what the preface describes as "the Big Questions that philosophers, theologians, scientists, and poets, as well as lawyers, have grappled with for centuries."
