Explain the text-case method including the reason for its name. Also explain the two reasons for applying criminal principles and definitions to specific cases

What will be an ideal response?


The "text-case method" is part text and part excerpts from criminal law cases specially edited for nonlawyers. The text part of the book explains the general principles of criminal law and the definitions of specific crimes. The case excerpts involve real-life crimes that apply the general information in the text to real-life situations. The application of principles and definitions of crimes to the facts of specific cases serves two important purposes. First, it helps you understand the principles and the elements of specific crimes. Second, it stimulates you to think critically about the principles and their application.
