Criminal Law
Professors Neal Katyal, Peter Tague, and Silas Wasserstrom J.D. Course 126 | 3 credit hours This course examines society's control of unwanted behavior through criminal law. The particular focus is on the general elements of a criminal offense cutting across all criminal codes rather than on the elements of individual crimes. Some attention is given to the basic theories of punishment and criminal culpability as contrasted with civil forms--e.g., tort law or civil commitment--for controlling deviant behavior.
