Summary:

This timely and interesting volume on American law examines the twentieth century reform of theft law and explores the ways in which modern monolithic legal definition and enforcement are ineffective and inappropriate for dealing with emerging issues surrounding intellectual property and virtual theft. Topics discussed include the theory and foundations of theft law, theft as a crime, the role and definition of property in theft law, and the re-imagination of theft theory for modern contingencies. The work is well researched and notated and provides an in-depth examination of this complex and important topic. Green is a professor of law at Rutgers University.
