Explains the criminal statutes to law enforcement personnel, lawyers, and lay people, making the code more accessible with fact patterns and a common word index

New Jersey Code of Criminal Justice: A Practical Guide to break down the New Jersey criminal justice statutes, offering clear explanations of Title 2C criminal law statutes and Title 39 motor vehicle statutes for law enforcement personnel, attorneys, and the general public. Since its first publication in 2004, the guide has become a trusted resource for police academies, municipal agencies, police stations, public libraries, and even patrol vehicles.

Presenting the full text of New Jersey's Code of Criminal Justice (Title 2C) and New Jersey motor vehicle statutes (Title 39), the book makes the criminal code accessible through hypothetical fact patterns, practical commentary, and a detailed topical index. It remains a leading training book for police applicants preparing for competitive promotional exams, and a dependable criminal law reference book in New Jersey for general practitioners responding to criminal matters.

"The initial police report is critical to the successful prosecution of a case. With remarkable clarity, Del Vecchio has provided the crucial link between theory and practice. This book should be required reading not only for anyone involved in law enforcement but also for anyone involved in enacting and prosecuting criminal statutes."

—Chief Mary F. Rabadeau (Ret.), New Jersey Transit Police
