Increasingly, students and faculty are demanding more critique when
it comes to the study of criminal law, especially with respect to
issues of race, gender, disability, sexuality, and class. This
challenging, yet student-friendly, casebook—the first authored
solely by Black men—answers this demand. Criminal Law: A Critical
Approach provides clear articulations of core criminal law
doctrines and concepts, while at the same time encouraging students
to think critically about a host of issues tied to the world in
which we live. Against the backdrop of mass incarceration,
over-criminalization, and disparities along lines of race, gender,
class, sexuality, and disability, this casebook: encourages
students to see the criminal law as a system; uses the criminal
system pyramid to introduce student to the range of social controls
inherent in the criminal system; addresses sources and topics of
criminalization that are often overlooked by more traditional
casebooks, including non-violent and victimless crimes that
constitute the bulk of real-world criminal prosecutions; provides
students with an understanding of arguments for prison abolition,
defunding the police, and alternatives to incarceration; and
encourages students to think comparatively through discussion of
how legal systems have addressed crime at other times and in other
countries. With its mixture of doctrine, theory, and policy, this
is a textbook designed to provide a diverse range of resources to
help professors challenge the students of today and prepare the
lawyer-leaders of tomorrow.
