- Title
When Did Shoplifting a Can of Tuna Become a Felony? A Critical Examination of Arkansas's Breaking or Entering Statute.
- Authors
Bailey, David A.
- Abstract
An essay is presented on Arkansas's Breaking or Entering Statute which concludes that the Arkansas breaking-or-entering statute's breadth is causing confusion among prosecutors, jurors, trial courts, and even appellate courts. It also mentions that defendants who commit thefts in similar circumstances are being treated very differently and also adds that it is imperative that either the Arkansas Legislature or the appellate courts correct this disparity.
