Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"A valuable and accessible resource for students studying criminal procedure. The case briefs provide an excellent, in-depth examination and analysis of significant Supreme Court cases in a brief and concise manner. Students find this approach less intimidating, and more engaging and user-friendly."
--Stephane Kirven, Sacred Heart University

"The strategy of providing case briefs rather than opinion text is good, as students tend to have trouble understanding opinions themselves. I also like very much that the authors explain the significance of the case; it is hard to get students to understand that these cases are not just empty rhetoric or ivory-tower battles of intellect--they matter to the day-to-day administration of criminal justice. The writing style is also good and I believe that it is as engaging as textbook writing can be."
--Jacinta M. Gau, University of Central Florida

Reseña del editor

Easily accessible to undergraduates, Significant Cases in Criminal Procedure, Second Edition, offers a clear, comprehensive introduction to criminal procedure. Rather than providing complete opinions, which may overwhelm students, the authors present case briefs, along with analyses, explanations, and short excerpts.

In addition to the case summaries, the book includes lists of all of the cases it covers, both in alphabetical order and grouped by topic; a short introduction to each topic; and an index.
