“My volume of North Carolina Crimes is dinged and dog-eared from use. With this book, I can flip back and forth between multiple crimes, rather than having to wade through all the different statues in separate books. In court, others ask to borrow it—on occasion, even a judge.”

—Jenna Blackwell, Attorney at Law, Mars Hill, North Carolina

“NC Crimes is user-friendly. Whether a person has just started in law enforcement or has been here for years, anyone can pick up this book and easily find the crime, the elements, and the statutes they’re looking for.”

—Sergeant Eric Ennis, Spencer Police Department

The book is updated annually with a cumulative supplement. Current products include the 2012 Seventh Edition as described above.
