Description

Criminal Procedure The Post-Investigative Process 6th Edition ISBN 9781531030322

Criminal Procedure: The Post-Investigative Process (Sixth Edition) is designed to explore the "bail to jail" aspects of the criminal justice system. Unlike texts that focus on the constitutional rules governing arrest, search and seizure, or interrogation, this book concentrates on the critical—yet often overlooked—stages that begin with the decision to file charges and conclude with post-conviction proceedings.

Organized roughly in chronological order, the book traces the procedural journey of a criminal defendant through the justice system. It features key federal and state cases, relevant procedural rules, and selected empirical studies that provide context and insight. Practical considerations are emphasized throughout, including the complex ethical dilemmas frequently faced by both prosecutors and defense attorneys.

Recognizing that most criminal cases are resolved through guilty pleas, the book consistently highlights how various procedural stages influence plea bargaining and plea decisions.

With a dual focus on doctrinal foundations and real-world practice, the authors incorporate numerous practice problems designed to help students analyze, apply, and internalize the material. This combination makes the book a valuable resource for understanding the legal framework and strategic choices that define post-investigative criminal procedure.
