Contemporary Criminal Law: Concepts, Cases and Controversies


Contemporary Criminal Law: Concepts, Cases, and Controversies 3rd Edition PDF Download Ebook. Matthew Lippman combines the traditional concepts and cases found in undergraduate texts with unique learning tools, resulting in an engaging, modern text that has enjoyed success with students and instructors nationwide.

The text covers both traditional and cutting-edge topics, such as terrorism, computer crimes, and hate crimes, in a student-friendly way. Clear explanations of criminal law and defenses are complemented by provocative, well-edited cases followed by discussion questions to stimulate critical thinking and in-class discussion.

The book also includes a number of new cases to illuminate important concepts such as the insanity defense and terrorism, many new learning features, and updates throughout, highlighting the most recent developments in criminal law. A more concise focus on domestic criminal law also characterizes this new edition. Best of all, this new edition continues to be significantly more affordable than most other texts for this course.

The text features more cases on hot topics such as gangs, cybercrime, and homelessness, while offering the most up-to-date coverage of evolving legal opinions and developments in criminal law. Cases are condensed and Crime in the News boxes are reduced in length to make the text more accessible to undergraduate students.

Based on reviewer feedback, the chapter on homicide will appear before the chapter on sexual assault, assault and battery, kidnapping, and false imprisonment. This change allows a smooth progression from the earlier discussion of intent. The text’s student-friendly, clear writing style makes often-difficult legal concepts more approachable and manageable.

The popular You Decide features—based on actual cases—challenge students to assume the role of a judge and arrive at a decision on each case. Crime in the News boxes, Legal Equations, and Cases and Comments features help students engage with chapter material and deepen your understanding of how criminal law functions in the real world.
