Criminal Law (Hornbook Series)

LaFave's Hornook on Criminal Law, 3rd, offers a detailed and comprehensive treatment of basic rules, principles and issues relating to criminal law. A major emphasis of this Hornbook is upon what is usually referred to as the "general part" of the criminal law; the basic premises of criminal law (Chapter 3); responsibility (Chapter 4); justification and excuse (Chapter 5); inchoate crimes and accomplice liability (Chapter 6). Greater attention has been given to certain subjects -- such as causation, insanity, and conspiracy.
