Book Description

North Carolina Crimes: A Guidebook on the Elements of Crime is a treatise on North Carolina substantive criminal law. Originally written for law enforcement officers, it has evolved over nearly half a century into an important reference source for sheriffs, probation officers, magistrates, prosecutors, public defenders, defense lawyers, and judges, as well as for those studying criminal law in an academic setting. This book attempts to cover all criminal offenses except those that are charged only rarely in the state criminal justice system.

This eighth edition of North Carolina Crimes incorporates statutory changes made through the 2024 session of the General Assembly and case law through January 2025. It supersedes all earlier editions and supplements.
