Inhaltsangabe

Do you know what happens when you are accused of a crime? How you are charged? How plea bargains work? What happens in court?

Anyone who needs answers to these questions -- people accused of a crime, victims of crime, their families and friends, witnesses and those who want to know how the system works -- can turn to a plain-English legal book for the information they need.

With The Criminal Law Handbook, you can learn exactly what goes on in a criminal case. The easy-to-follow, question-and-answer format covers:

*arrests *booking *preliminary hearings *charges *bail *courts *arraignment *search and seizure *defenses *evidence *trials *plea bargains *sentencing *juveniles *"crimespeak," the language commonly used in criminal statutes *and much more

The 6th edition provides the latest in the law and court findings. Find out if police can use high-tech devices to search for evidence in your house, whether school officials can search students without warrants, and how the post-9/11 Patriot Act expands the power of federal agents.
