Federal Criminal Law Doctrines

The Forgotten Influence of National Prohibition

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"This is the first comprehensive history of Supreme Court prohibition 'law.' Murchison highlights the relation between the Court's decisions and the changing attitudes of Americans towards prohibition. His attempts to show both the importance of prohibition to the development of federal criminal law and its legacy today are most successful. In addition to legal historians, and legal academics, the book should be important for scholars of criminal justice and public policy studies."-- Rayman L. Solomon, Northwestern University School of Law
