Criminal Justice Procedure - Stacy C. Moak

. .

Résumé :
Criminal Justice Procedure gives clear guidance on the most common questions faced by today's law enforcement, offering a fresh look at 21st century pre-trial protocol. Unlike other casebooks, this newly revised edition eschews legal theory in favor of the practical know-how needed to not to parse, but apply criminal law. Emphasis has been placed on just exactly how practitioners should conduct hot-button procedures such as airport and border searches. Moreover, the book also addresses the usually dire implications of deviating from proper practice - how a false step can translate into a violation of individual rights or the inability to successfully prosecute the guilty. Specifically designed for criminal justice undergraduates (rather than higher-level law schools) and completely reorganized for a more logical flow of topics, this affordable, practical textbook is ideal for a broad base of criminal justice programs.
