Description

Criminal Law Cases and Materials 5th Edition Cynthia Lee ISBN 9781685612184

This innovative criminal law casebook presents the core principles of substantive criminal law while incorporating critical race theory and feminist legal perspectives into a traditional doctrinal framework. Covering all of the foundational topics typically taught in a first-year criminal law course, the book distinguishes itself by examining the social, historical, and cultural contexts that shape criminal law.

Rather than treating issues of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation as separate or supplemental topics, the authors integrate these perspectives throughout the text, allowing instructors to address them naturally within the standard curriculum. To support student learning, each chapter begins with a concise overview of the relevant legal doctrine, providing a clear foundation before introducing the cases.

Designed with accessibility in mind, the book also departs from the traditional format of lengthy notes and discussion questions following each case. Instead, those teaching materials are included in the accompanying Teacher's Manual, giving instructors the flexibility to incorporate them as they see fit while keeping the casebook streamlined and focused for students.
