Relatively little has been written in English about the Islamic
legal tradition, a serious deficiency in light of recent tensions
in the Middle East and the Islamic revival in general. The body of
Islamic law, or Shari'a, is central to the understanding of Islamic
society and the current conflict between fundamentalism and
modernism in the Islamic world. While acknowledging the regional
differences in the local characteristics of the Shari'a, this work
provides a straightforward introduction to procedure and
punishment, discussing the major concepts, principles, and
practices. The establishment of the Shari'a signified a progressive
step in the development of legal practice as it modified the
Islamic customs of retaliation and blood revenge. Nevertheless,
Islamic law differs from common and civil codes due to its
religious and virtually unchangeable nature.
A concise and comprehensive introduction to the law of evidence,
Criminal Evidence takes an active learning approach to help readers
apply evidence law to real-life cases. Bestselling author Matthew
Lippman, a professor of criminal law and criminal procedure for
over 25 years, creates an engaging and accessible experience for
students from a public policy perspective through a multitude of
contemporary examples and factual case scenarios that illustrate
the application of the law of evidence. Highlighting the theme of a
balancing of interests in the law of evidence, readers are asked to
apply a more critical examination of the use of evidence in the
judicial system. The structure of the criminal justice system and
coverage of the criminal investigative process is also introduced
to readers.
