Tanaka Criminal Law Casebook
2022
This casebook includes an introduction to important principles of criminal law and how issues of mental health, race, sex, gender, and sexual orientation have been treated by the legal system. This casebook should invite meaningful discussions about the role of race in the legal system, including policies regarding policing, discretion, and diversionary programs. Although the subject of criminal law cannot be taught without the use of cases and resources that include distressing details, traumatizing material was avoided when it was not necessary to the purposes of this course.
