Suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students, academics and practitioners in the field, and cited by the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia, the International Criminal Court, the Special Court for Sierra Leone, the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, and the highest courts in domestic systems, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in learning more about international criminal law.‘It is definitely a challenge to write a textbook on a quickly developing area such as international criminal law. The format makes it easy to follow.Again, absolutely no problems here.The structure, organization and flow of the materials contained in the book are logical and follow in a manner that is conducive to learning. Anything that you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

I love how this textbook breaks every topic into clear and concise sections (with a clear bold heading to boot!) For example, the text mentions “double jeopardy” without explaining what it is.This book was consistent all the way through.The book is written in a concise way that is extremely "user friendly" with accessible prose. Moreover, businesses must also protect themselves from the bad judgment and behavior of their employees. I particularly like the End of Chapter material, the Key Takeaway boxes and the Exercises and the inclusion, with links, to supplemental material. Is this an "intro to policing" book?

It does not cover much criminal procedure, but the portions of it that deal with procedure could become dated in the event of a major, reformative Supreme Court opinion (which is true of all criminal procedure texts).There were a few minor errors in grammar and punctuation—no glaring problems—and overall it was quite grammatically solid.This is an overall excellent textbook! If an employee acting within the scope of employment commits a crime from which the business will benefit, then the business can be convicted of the crime, too. Precedent?

The Fourteenth Amendment makes these rights applicable to defendants accused of crimes by state governments. Criminal defendants have the right to a public and speedy trial, an attorney, and to remain silent.The Eighth Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment and excessive fines and bail. Moving around within each chapter is somewhat confusing, however.The content appears to be unbiased. The textbook is equal to and in many ways, better than many of the leading textbooks for purchase that are on the market and in our bookstores today.The text is internally consistent in terms of terminology and framework.The topics were laid out in a way that was easy to follow and permits the student to build on previous information as they read forward.
