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.

for political scientists, criminologists, sociologists, legal
scholars, policy advisors, legislators, lawyers, judges, and

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
