    About this ebook

    AUDIENCE FOR BOOK:
    Anyone who wants a working understanding of criminal law concepts. This group includes students, defendants and victims (or people close to them), and writers.

    REASONS TO BUY THIS NEW EDITION:
  • Professor Bergman has updated the book with the most relevant changes in criminal law, including Supreme Court rulings. He also covers “pop culture” cases—cases that grabbed national headlines.
  • The book’s style is engaging and straightforward. It incorporates real-life examples, famous films, and clever hypotheticals.
  • This is the first A-Z primer on criminal law terminology. It explains in simple terms concepts about which legislators, lawyers, and judges have written volumes.
  • The fourth edition is loaded with new information, on topics like constitutional rights, electronic surveillance, juvenile crimes, and Miranda rights.
