Fundamentals of criminal law / Reynaldo G. Ros.

Fundamentals of Criminal Law lays the foundation for understanding criminal law as it is applied today. It outlines the fundamental provisions of criminal law, rules on criminal procedure, as well as legislative amendments. The chapters cover the principles and aspects of criminal law, among them legal terms, definitions, and prescibed penalties as stipulated in the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines. Real-life court cases are cited to allow for an incisive analysis of criminal laws that tests students' critical thinking, and triggers lively classroom discussion and debate. Most often, legalese confuses rather than clarifies. This book, however, uses simple and precise language that makes the text clear and easily comprehensible. For this and other features, Fundamentals of Criminal Law becomes a valuable source in the study of criminal justice for pre-law and legal management students, and a handy guide for lawyers and laypeople.
