A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Criminal Procedure: Constitution and Society, Fourth Edition, illustrates the best of both textbook and casebook formats. It soars past other texts by giving the reader a deeper understanding of criminal procedure and the cases that have shaped American criminal justice. The fourth edition includes new and valuable material on justice in a time of terror.

As the preface states, "The heart of American law lies in the cases." The heart of the American criminal justice system therefore lies in the way these cases shape crime control and constitutionality. Criminal Procedure: Constitution and Society presents these issues fairly and thoroughly, with additional features that are uniquely tailored to students in criminal justice, criminology, sociology, and political science. The unique features of this text will make the study of criminal procedure a comprehensive, educational experience.
