Review
"I firmly believe the writing style is appropriate for all students. Examples are clear and to the point. The concepts are explained well and supported with easy to understand examples."
"...The topics are presented in a clear and logical manner. I have used this text for at least eight years and recommend it very highly. Accordingly, my students are very satisfied and the recent format changes (i.e., shaded illustrations) have made the text more aesthetically appealing."
"(Pedagogy) is the strong element of the textbook and I reviewed several texts and this textbook is by far the best in this area." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

2.0 out of 5 stars
no recommendation,
By A Customer
This review is from: Criminal Law (Hardcover)
I used Criminal Law by Gardner and Anderson as my text when I taught an undergrad Criminal Law class. I found it overly simplistic, even for that level, and left my students with too many loose ends. The case excerpts used are drastically edited, sometimes only a sentence, which does not help demonstrate the proposition the cases supposedly stand for. It seemed that the authors also spent an inordinate amount of text on relatively unimportant topics. I also found the instructor's edition to be unhelpful.

Used 7th edition as secondary material for teaching undergrad CrimLaw,
By Socratic Law Prof (Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Criminal Law (Hardcover)
The layout of the book is user friendly, and the case extracts are concise. I designated it as a reference book for my students and placed it on call in the library for them to review. It can be overly simplistic for an advanced reader, but on target for a good majority of freshman students. Maybe the 8th edition will show some evolution.
4.0 out of 5 stars
great communication!,
