 For My StudentS

about the author

Professor Joel Samaha teaches Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure and,
until 2014, Introduction to Criminal Justice at the University of Minnesota. He
is both a lawyer and a historian whose primary interest is crime control in a
constitutional democracy. He received his BA, JD, and PhD from Northwestern
University. Professor Samaha also studied under the late Sir Geoffrey Elton
at Cambridge University, England. He was named the College of Liberal Arts
Distinguished Teacher in 1974. In 2007, he was awarded the title of University
of Minnesota Distinguished Teaching Professor and inducted into the Academy
of Distinguished Teachers.
Professor Samaha was admitted to the Illinois Bar in 1962, where he practiced
law briefly in Chicago. He taught at UCLA before going to the University of
Minnesota in 1971. He has taught both television and radio courses in crimi-
nal justice and co-taught a National Endowment for the Humanities seminar
in legal and constitutional history. At the University of Minnesota, he served
as chair of the Department of Criminal Justice Studies from 1974 to 1978.
In addition to Law and Order in Historical Perspective (1974), an analysis
of law enforcement in pre-industrial English society, Professor Samaha has
transcribed and written a scholarly introduction to a set of local criminal jus-
tice records from the reign of Elizabeth I. He has also written several articles
on the history of criminal justice, published in the Historical Journal, Ameri-
can Journal of Legal History, Minnesota Law Review, William Mitchell Law
Review, and Journal of Social History. In addition to Criminal Law, he has
written two other textbooks, Criminal Procedure, now in its ninth edition,
and Criminal Justice, now in its seventh edition.

 Preface

C riminal Law was my favorite class as a first-year law student at Northwestern Uni-
versity Law School in 1958. I’ve loved it ever since, a love that has only grown
from teaching it at least once a year at the University of Minnesota since 1971. I hope
my love of the subject comes through in Criminal Law, which I’ve just finished for the
twelfth time. It’s a great source of satisfaction that my modest innovation to the study
of criminal law—the text-casebook—has endured and flourished. Criminal Law, the
text-casebook, brings together the description, analysis, and critique of general prin-
ciples with excerpts of cases edited for nonlawyers.
Like its predecessors, Criminal Law, Twelfth Edition, stresses both the general prin-
ciples that apply to all of criminal law and the specific elements of particular crimes
that prosecutors have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. Learning the principles of
criminal law isn’t just a good mental exercise, although it does stimulate students to
use their minds. Understanding the general principles is an indispensable prerequisite
for understanding the elements of specific crimes. The general principles have lasted for
centuries. The definitions of the elements of specific crimes, on the other hand, differ
from state to state and over time because they have to meet the varied and changing
needs of new times and different places.
That the principles have stood the test of time testifies to their strength as a frame-
work for explaining the elements of crimes defined in the fifty states and in the U.S.
criminal code. But there’s more to their importance than durability; it’s also practical to
know and understand them. The general principles are the bases both of the elements
that prosecutors have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt to convict defendants and of
the defenses that justify or excuse defendants’ criminal conduct.
So Criminal Law, Twelfth Edition, rests on a solid foundation. But it can’t stand
still, any more than the subject of criminal law can remain frozen in time. The more
I teach and write about criminal law, the more I learn and rethink what I’ve already
learned; the more “good” cases I find that I didn’t know were there; and the more I’m
able to include cases that weren’t decided and reported when the previous edition went
to press.
Of course, it’s my obligation to incorporate into the twelfth edition these now-
decided and reported cases, and this new learning, rethinking, and discovery. But ob-
ligation doesn’t describe the pleasure that preparing now twelve editions of Criminal
Law brings me. It’s thrilling to find cases that illustrate a principle in terms students can
understand and that stimulate them to think critically about subjects worth thinking
about. It’s that thrill that drives me to make each edition better than the last. I hope
it will make my students—and you—more intelligent consumers of the law and social
reality of criminal law in the U.S. constitutional democracy.

organization/approach
The chapters in the text organize the criminal law into a traditional scheme that is
widely accepted and can embrace, with minor adjustments, the criminal law of any
state and/or the federal government. The logic of the arrangement is first to cover the
general part of the criminal law—namely, principles and doctrines common to all or
most crimes—and then the special part of criminal law—namely, the application of the
x general principles to the elements of specific crimes.
