Containing 40 visually coded maps of the fifty states, this book
offers an unprecedented look at America's diverse legal landscape.
This first-of-its-kind volume sketches the diversity implicit in
United States criminal law doctrine through its examination of a
range of criminal laws pertaining to murder, sexual assault, drug
offenses, the insanity defense, and more and the way in which
different states deal with those issues. In addition to providing
insights into the most widely invoked standards in criminal law, it
raises awareness of the enormous discrepancies among the criminal
laws of states, documenting them using dozens of visually coded
maps that showcase geographic, political, and socioeconomic
differences to explain patterns of agreement and disagreement.
Mapping American Criminal Law: Variations Across the 50 States is
for political scientists, criminologists, sociologists, legal
scholars, policy advisors, legislators, lawyers, judges, and
scholars and students of these fields. In addition, each chapter is
highly accessible to laypersons and includes an explanation of the
subject matter as well as explanations of the various approaches to
criminal law taken by states. Reflects the expertise of one of
America's most-cited experts in criminal law, coauthor Paul H.
Robinson, and is informed by the legal experience of coauthor Tyler
Scot Williams Contains important new research on dozens of the most
important issues in criminal law Includes 40 visually coded maps
that provide an instant picture of the striking diversity in
criminal law among states
