Overview

Hallmark features of this title

Basic and nontraditional topics

  • About half the content covers traditional criminal procedure topics, including search-and-seizure, interrogation and identification procedures.
  • About half the content moves beyond basics. Topics include pretrial process, legal roles, plea bargaining and guilty pleas, rights of criminal defendants at trial, and appeals and habeas corpus.
  • Constitutional rights of criminal defendants, as interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court, are a point of focus. Many Supreme Court decisions are discussed.

Real-world applications

  • Decision-Making exercises throughout chapters prompt students to decide cases.
  • Further Exploration at the end of each chapter examines controversial issues.
  • Actual legal forms and policy excerpts are referenced extensively.
