From Amazon.com: This popular casebook, through the selection of classic and modern cases, provides an excellent tool for teaching students the common law foundations of the criminal law and modern statutory reform, including the Model Penal Code. Along the way, the casebook considers modern controversies (e.g., shaming; punishment, rape law, self-defense by battered women, euthanasia, the role of culture in determining culpability), and creatively uses literature (e.g., examining insanity through Edgar Allen Poe's The-Tell Tale Heart) and even brain teasers to confront (as the Preface states) the Big Questions . . . that philosophers, theologians, scientists, and poets, as well as lawyers, have grappled with for centuries.Professor Stephen Garvey (Cornell) joins the casebook beginning with this new edition. The Sixth Edition, as in the past, includes some new cases, as well as updates in the notes that bring current issues of criminal law to the fore.

voluntarity那段太有樂了，簡直就是分析psycho pass中處刑的合法性...不過心理學家確實曾經在實驗中正確的辨別出了恐怖分子，認知科學無能，雖不明但覺厲...

相比于其他课，criminal law的case不是重点，毕竟所有判例都是根据法条的，所以重要的是statutory interpretation。书总体是有条理有逻辑的，但可能也是因为crim law open-ending的特性，case后的notes更多地引发思考而没有准确答案。教授上课也经常听同学发言却不给评价。让人学起来不踏实。

最认真做reading的一门课，像读小说。
