Samaha (criminal law, University of Minnesota) stresses both the general principles that apply to all of criminal law and the specific elements of particular crimes, in this text/CD-ROM package for undergraduates. Case excerpts are tailored to teach students the principles, doctrines, and rules of criminal law with an eye toward policy rather than the technical knowledge needed by lawyers. This eighth edition features new cases, a new chapter on crimes against the state, and new material on identity theft. Chapter summaries are now in detailed outline form. The CD-ROM contains interactive summaries, assignments, flash cards, and the text of the US Constitution and the First, Eighth, and 14th Amendments.
