Book Description

CRIMINAL PROCEDURE helps you understand the central theme in constitutional democracies--balancing the need for government power to protect public safety with the guarantee of individual liberty and privacy. By focusing on comprehension and not memorization, the textbook helps you understand our criminal procedures and why we need them. This text examines the constitutional requirements of criminal procedure and how these requirements are applied by the courts to law enforcement, prosecution, defense, pre-trial proceedings, adjudication, sentencing, appeal, and habeas corpus. And to ensure that you succeed in your course, you'll find helpful in-text learning aids as well as a companion CD-ROM packaged with every new copy of the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Criminal Procedure with CD-ROM, Sep 4 2005

By N. Pearson - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Criminal Procedure (with CD-ROM and InfoTrac�) (Hardcover)

The cases were written in an understandable English language and the CD-ROM was helpful in simplifing the chapters but they were too bare. They helped point you in the right direction but needed to be filled in a little more from the chapters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Criminal Procedure book, Nov 18 2011

By Lady Reese "Reese" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Criminal Procedure (Hardcover)

This is a great book if you want to study criminal procedure. It is very detailed and provides additional information that explains each of the cases in it. Without this book, I must admit, some cases would be difficult to understand but the book makes it easy.
