## Description

Buy Criminal Law 10th Revised ed. by Samaha, Joel (ISBN: 9780495807490) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: I've been using this book for this past semester in my college class, and I have to say it's like no other textbook out there. This book is a really easy read and actually quite entertaining. The text is not "dry" like most college level textbooks. It has a list of main points and objectives at the end of every chapter, plus detailed relevant court cases, and various "day-to-day" scenarios. It puts students in situations and asks them to apply what they have learned.
Review: I use this book to keep up with what I learned as a student in Samaha's Criminal Law class at the University of Minnesota. He is an excellent teacher. These books are very up to date as he spends many hours working on them to keep up with the latest developments in the field. The text uses the case - text method, which means he uses excerpts from actual Supreme Court (and some lower court) decisions to illustrate fact sets and the principles of criminal law. This makes it easier to understand how these concepts apply in situations that occur in day to day life. For people who simply want to learn the basics, an older edition is fine. For professionals in the criminal justice field, I would recommend the most up to date version so you can be aware of the latest court decisions that are always changing the law.

*by D***E on 22 May 2013*

This book was required for a class I took a couple semesters ago, and I loved it. Easy to use and understand, and it actually helped me learn the material for LIFE instead of just for passing the class. I'm moving on up to law school now, so I guess you could say that this book played a part in that!
