Class time will be devoted to discussing content, presenting enrichment materials, answering student questions and additional learning activities. Features and Benefits: The book's clear writing style challenges, but does not overwhelm undergraduate students. Cases reinforce content and promote the development of case analysis skills. "Ethical Considerations" in every chapter expose students to general ethical principles and ethical questions in criminal law, challenging them to think critically about real world ethical dilemmas.

2 Intriguing sidebars spark lively class discussions and get students interested in issues involving the criminal justice system and criminal law. Exhibits reinforce textual material and help illustrate important ideas. Web Links highlight online resources that are germane to chapter topics. Review Questions call for content-related answers to reinforce and help readers retain chapter concepts.
