Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This influential book presents a comprehensive analysis of the American legal system and proposes a radical reformulation of criminal law. The author argues that the current system is characterized by a confusing array of inconsistent and arbitrary rules, and proposes a unified Model Penal Code that would provide a clear and consistent framework for criminal law. Drawing on his experience as a leading legal scholar and practitioner, Wechsler provides a compelling argument for the need for fundamental reform of the American legal system.

Download or read book Foundational Texts in Modern Criminal Law written by Markus D Dubber and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-08-21 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foundational Texts in Modern Criminal Law presents essays in which scholars from various countries and legal systems engage critically with formative texts in criminal legal thought since Hobbes. It examines the emergence of a transnational canon of criminal law by documenting its intellectual and disciplinary history and provides a snapshot of contemporary work on criminal law within that historical and comparative context. Criminal law discourse has become, and will continue to become, more international and comparative, and in this sense global: the long-standing parochialism of criminal law scholarship and doctrine is giving way to a broad exploration of the foundations of modern criminal law. The present book advances this promising scholarly and doctrinal project by making available key texts, including several not previously available in English translation, from the common law and civil law traditions, accompanied by contributions from leading representatives of both systems.

Download or read book Criminal Law written by Guyora Binder and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many controversies in American criminal law reflect the tension between older and newer conceptions of the purposes of punishment. The English common law of crimes enforced a royal peace by conditioning punishment on unauthorized force and harm to particular victims. The story of American criminal law has been the emergence of a more utilitarian conception of criminal offending as the imposition of risk or the violation of consent, combined with culpability. This conception is reflected in the Model Penal Code and many state codes. Yet understanding contemporary criminal law requires that we also remember the model of offending as trespass against sovereignty out of which it emerged. The Oxford Introductions to U.S. Law: Criminal Law reviews the development of American criminal law and explains its key concepts and persistent controversies in light of its history. These key concepts include retribution and prevention as purposes of punishment; the requirements of a criminal act and a culpable mental state; criteria of causal responsibility; modes of violating consent; inchoate offenses, including attempt and conspiracy; doctrines of participation in crime; and defenses of justification and excuse.
