Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Sketch of the Criminal Law As the Court of Parliament does not seem particularly likely in the immediate future to trouble itself with codifying the Criminal Law, and as text-books will not be till then (even if then) rendered unnecessary, it is hoped that this little work may have its usefulness and its sale. I have not attempted in its pages to be exhaustive or learned. My object has been simply to give the reader a sketch of those elementary principles of the criminal law and practice with which not only every law student, but every intelligent citizen, ought to be familiarly acquainted. "The learning touching these subjects," says Mr. Justice Foster in the Preface to his Discourses on Crown Law, "is a matter of great and universal concernment. It merits, for reasons too obvious to be enlarged on, the attention of ever man living." Indeed, so great and so unquestioned is the importance, in the interests of the community, of a knowledge of the general principles of the criminal law, that it is a matter for surprise and regret that they should not form a regular branch of study at our public schools and other educational establishments.

Download or read book The Police Composite Sketch written by Stephen Mancusi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-11 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The police composite sketch, one of the most crucial investigative tools in law enforcement, is developed during a composite session—an intense display of communication and art in which the words of a witness are transformed into the features of a suspect. Despite the incredible technological leaps made in investigative work, the forensic science of composite sketching still relies on the basic elements of drawing skill, interpretive ability and the spoken word. The Police Composite Sketch is a comprehensive manual on how to conduct a complete composite session. Through an array of case studies, it details several disciplines that comprise this specialized forensic art, including composite sketching, image modification, age progression, facial comparison analysis, demonstrative evidence and postmortem/skull reconstruction. It also explores how to intuit insights that are often inadvertently revealed by witnesses, victims and perpetrators during the composite session. In addition, this book discusses other relevant topics, such as the three-stage drawing technique, witness and victim types, descriptive terminologies, managing composite sessions. Complete with numerous illustrations and drawing tips, this seminal work offers a general composite session philosophy and specific session strategies to both experienced and aspiring forensic artists as well as any lay reader intrigued by this fascinating skill.

Book excerpt: Criminal Law, Seventh Edition, offers both theoretical and practical treatment of criminal law to help students understand the underlying principles and to relate them to real-life situations. Criminal Law introduces students to the criminal justice system, raises the question of why and how we punish, and provides a framework for classroom discussion of the relationship between the state and the individual. It covers a broad range of topics including many cutting-edge issues. Like the prior edition of Criminal Law published in 2009, this new Seventh Edition is a casebook of reasonable length which can be completely covered in a one semester course. Problems have been developed to demonstrate the difficulties discussed above and many modern issues have been emphasized to stimulate student interest in the course. Some highlights of the new edition are the following new and updated materials: Courts often instruct the jury that willful blindness or conscious disregard of an incriminating fact can satisfy the requirement of knowing conduct. Referred to colloquially as the "ostrich instruction" because the defendant has hidden his head in the sand as an ostrich does, the standard for triggering the instruction varies. Giovenetti, a Seventh Circuit case written by Judge Posner, explains when the instruction is appropriate. As a matter of statutory interpretation, the issue of to which elements in a statute the mens rea applies plagues courts and students. The book treats this issue through a 2009 Supreme Court decision (Flores-Figueroa) that is consistent with the Model Penal Code approach. Courts continue to have difficulty with factual and legal questions as to "lesser" players being held responsible for the crimes of others. Two key questions are when does quite limited assistance amount to aiding and abetting responsibility, and when can an accomplice withdraw from the endeavor? A recent New Hampshire Supreme Court decision (State v. Formella) sheds some light here. The material in Chapter 5 on theft develops the problem of applying traditional larceny laws to misappropriation of intangible forms of property. Given the increasing value of such assets as copyrighted material, the cases illustrate the limits of treating all forms of misappropriation as criminal. Students are engaged and enthusiastic about how--and whether--the law should respond. The section on sex crimes opens with statistics from a national study by the Center for Disease Control. After summarizing fundamental changes in the law of rape that conceptualize the crime as assault, the cases continue to probe developing issues like the degree of force, kind of threat, and type of coercion that demonstrate an assault. Expanded, current materials on the so-called "stand-your-ground" laws and the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman murder case, for a vigorous discussion and analysis of these laws in relation to self-defense and the recent announcement of Zimmerman''s defense lawyers that they will rely only on traditional self-defense. The line between protected advocacy of suicide and criminal assistance to suicide continues to be a source of controversy. Recent prosecutions against right-to-die advocates are incorporated into the discussion in Chapter 5 of accomplice liability and preparatory offenses, with current analysis of first amendment theory. Fishing, sting operations, chat room catches.... Different ways to describe the problems for the law created by enforcement personal who affirmatively step forward to try to limit or eliminate all sorts of criminal activities ranging from fraud to terrorist acts to securities violations. Chapter 6 explores the reach of the 11th Circuit''s decision in United States v. Lee and similar cases. The insanity defense remains highly controversial even though most criminal justice professionals know full well that the defense is not often raised and is even less often successful. The insanity section of Chapter 7 looks at those difficulties, using both traditional legal materials and writings from professionals in the mental health profession. This book also is available in a three-hole punched, alternative loose-leaf version printed on 8.5 x 11 inch paper with wider margins and with the same pagination as the hardbound book.

Download or read book The Machinery of Criminal Justice written by Stephanos Bibas and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-28 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two centuries ago, American criminal justice was run primarily by laymen. Jury trials passed moral judgment on crimes, vindicated victims and innocent defendants, and denounced the guilty. But since then, lawyers have gradually taken over the process, silencing victims and defendants and, in many cases, substituting plea bargaining for the voice of the jury. The public sees little of how this assembly-line justice works, and victims and defendants have largely lost their day in court. As a result, victims rarely hear defendants express remorse and apologize, and defendants rarely receive forgiveness. This lawyerized machinery has purchased efficient, speedy processing of many cases at the price of sacrificing softer values, such as reforming defendants and healing wounded victims and relationships. In other words, the U.S. legal system has bought quantity at the price of quality, without recognizing either the trade-off or the great gulf separating lawyers' and laymen's incentives, values, and powers. In The Machinery of Criminal Justice, author Stephanos Bibas surveys the developments over the last two centuries, considers what we have lost in our quest for efficient punishment, and suggests ways to include victims, defendants, and the public once again. Ideas range from requiring convicts to work or serve in the military, to moving power from prosecutors to restorative sentencing juries. Bibas argues that doing so might cost more, but it would better serve criminal procedure's interests in denouncing crime, vindicating victims, reforming wrongdoers, and healing the relationships torn by crime.
