Introduction

Criminal law is a broad topic to research, since it touches so many aspects of society, from wrongs against a person, to offenses against property, to corporate crime. This guide is intended to assist researchers in locating primary and secondary materials relating to U.S. and state criminal law in the University of Iowa Law Library’s collections.

General Advice: To simplify criminal law research, use secondary authority or study aids, such as a legal encyclopedia, a treatise or a West Hornbook, to identify an appropriate subtopic of criminal law. These secondary sources can lead you to appropriate primary sources, such as statutes and cases related to the specific topic.
