Written in a student-friendly manner, the fourth edition of Criminal Procedure: Investigation eschews excessive reliance on rhetorical questions and law review excerpts in favor of comprehensive exploration of black letter law and current policy issues. Authored by a pair of well-respected criminal and constitutional law scholars, Criminal Procedure: Investigation utilizes a chronological approach that guides students through criminal procedure doctrine, from rules governing searches and seizures to the right to counsel. In addition to presenting the perspectives from various stakeholders ( e.g. prosecutors, defense counsel, judges, police, and victims), the authors take care to provide students with useful, practice-oriented materials, including pleadings and motions papers. Criminal Procedure: Investigation not only employs a systemic approach that takes students through each step of criminal investigation, but also introduces issues at the forefront of modern criminal procedure debates.
