With this edition of CRIMINAL LAW, Gardner and Anderson continue their tradition of combining excellent coverage of current issues with an accessible writing style and study system--making this text your first choice for building a practical understanding of complex legal topics. The text offers complete coverage of the issues and principles driving American criminal justice today, with a presentation of cases, governmental reports, studies, and news reports that support rather than overwhelm your learning.

Summary: Used 7th edition as secondary material for teaching undergrad CrimLaw
Comment: The layout of the book is user friendly, and the case extracts are concise. I designated it as a reference book for my students and placed it on call in the library for them to review. It can be overly simplistic for an advanced reader, but on target for a good majority of freshman students. Maybe the 8th edition will show some evolution.

Summary: no recommendation
Comment: I used Criminal Law by Gardner and Anderson as my text when I taught an undergrad Criminal Law class. I found it overly simplistic, even for that level, and left my students with too many loose ends. The case excerpts used are drastically edited, sometimes only a sentence, which does not help demonstrate the proposition the cases supposedly stand for. It seemed that the authors also spent an inordinate amount of text on relatively unimportant topics. I also found the instructor's edition to be unhelpful.
