Background
Model Penal Code
Model Penal Code was created by a group of law professors, judges, and lawyers to offer prehensive revision of the criminal law. The Model Penal Code is not law and has no binding effect. It has, however, been the model for many state criminal codes and has been very influential on state and local legislators.
