To deter crime, punish criminals, and uphold order, society creates and enforces laws. The Law explains the principles of criminal law, their history and roots, and how they have been applied in the United States. Beginning with a definition of what the law is, this book discusses how and why laws are made and enacted and looks at local, state, and federal laws and how they interact. It examines how legal principles are applied to specific types of crime and how legal precedents are set. Case studies highlight how laws have evolved to respond to emerging types of crime as well as specific concerns, such as how the law should be applied to juveniles versus adults.
