Criminal Law and Its Processes: Cases and Materials (10th Edition) – eBook

Criminal Law and Its Processes: Cases and Materials, Tenth Edition, crafted by a distinguished team of authors, upholds the legacy of its successful predecessors by offering students a comprehensive policy framework to understand the role of criminal law as an instrument of social control.
