The timely Second Edition of Criminal Law in Focus by Alex D. Kreit presents a modern approach to this first-year course that reflects criminal law in practice. Post-Case Follow-Up questions spotlight important topics, such as prosecutorial discretion and plea bargaining. Contemporary cases articulate legal doctrine and address newsworthy issues of current debate. Lucid narration helps students navigate around the differences and tensions between various jurisdictional approaches to defining crimes and defenses.

Offenses such as homicide and sexual assault, the focus of traditional criminal law casebooks, are considered alongside offenses that figure more prominently in legal practice, such as drug possession and property crimes. In addition to standard justificatory theories of punishment (retribution and utilitarianism), students also review scholarship, data, and cases suggesting that punishment can be a tool of social control as evidenced by discriminatory practices in law enforcement.
