New York Code of Criminal Justice: A Practical Guide is a guide to the criminal statutes in New York. In addition to the full text of the New York Penal Law and Criminal Procedure Law, the book includes plain-language explanations of what the Penal Law statutes mean, with fictional fact patterns that depict the crimes found in the statutes. A practical application of the statutes further illustrate the statutes and offenses. This book is an exceptional tool for lawyers, judges, law students, and police officers. Preceding each statutory chapter or group of chapters in the penal code is a fictional fact pattern. Following each statute that defines a felony or misdemeanor is a practical application section. These sections draw on the fictional characterizations to explain the statutes. Readers can use the fact patterns and practical applications to understand the language of the statutes and determine how to charge appropriately under them.

The Short Guide to Criminal Justice provides a comprehensive, yet concise, introduction to the current state of the criminal justice system in the United Kingdom--a subject often subsumed in larger discussions of crime and criminology. Avoiding an overtly legalistic or philosophical approach, Lisa Jayne O'Malley and Sharon Elizabeth Grace offer an accessible entry point for students and researchers across disciplines who seek to better understand a range of key criminal justice issues. Also exploring the experience of criminal justice in relation to inequality, a subject of increasing urgency both in the United Kingdom and internationally, this book serves as a foundation for further investigation and discussion.
