Criminal Procedure; Principles, Policies, and Perspectives

The new Third Edition contains the very latest cases, including the Court’s attempt to make sense of its “revolutions” in sentencing and confrontation clause doctrine, as well as the Court’s long-standing effort to make the Fourth Amendment and the Miranda doctrine intelligible. This casebook features unusual supplementary sources—for example, an account of a case in which an innocent man was twice convicted of murder. It also includes material from “in the trenches” designed to give students an idea of what life is like inside the squad car, the interrogation room, and the courtroom.
