This course examines criminal law in the United States from a broad perspective. It will present the general principles and doctrines that affect the whole of criminal law, such as elements of criminal offenses, defenses to crimes, theories of punishment and rehabilitation, and perspectives on crime and criminal law. In addition, students will learn the elements of some specific crimes, such as homicide, criminal sexual conduct, crimes against public order, crimes against public morals, and crimes against property, including burglary, larceny and arson. A brief discussion of criminal procedure and constitutional limitations on government will be presented as preparation for future study of criminal justice procedure.
