• Resources on alternative methods of regulating police conduct, including state laws, departmental regulations, and international treaties

• Examination of colonial and early eighteenth-century approaches to police regulation, relevant to constitutional interpretation

• Empirical data on societal expectations of privacy, the impact of Miranda warnings, accuracy of identification procedures, and the effectiveness of undercover work, the exclusionary rule, and damages actions

• Comparative perspectives on police regulation in other countries, including those following the English tradition, as well as Germany, France, Denmark, India, and Japan

• Over 100 problems designed to enhance practical lawyering skills

• A negotiation exercise and authentic case materials—motions, transcripts, and documents—raising Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendment issues

• Notes addressing emerging topics such as data mining, national security surveillance, and problem-solving policing
