Description
Criminal Procedure: Investigation 5th Edition Erwin Chemerinsky ISBN 9798892079341
Written in a student-friendly style, the Fifth Edition of Criminal Procedure: Investigation provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to criminal procedure doctrine while addressing contemporary policy issues. Moving away from heavy reliance on rhetorical questions and law review excerpts, this text presents black-letter law in a clear, practice-oriented manner. Authored by respected scholars in criminal and constitutional law, the book follows a chronological approach, guiding students through the criminal investigative process—from searches and seizures to the right to counsel.
The text incorporates perspectives from key stakeholders, including prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges, police, and victims, and includes practical materials such as sample pleadings and motions. By combining doctrinal coverage with real-world examples, Criminal Procedure: Investigation equips students to understand both the letter of the law and the practical realities of modern criminal investigations.

Rental Terms
Return by December 28, 2026 for Fall 2026 rentals.
- Late Fees
- Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
- Damage Fees
- Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
- Return Shipping
- Returning your book is free with no deduction if it reaches us by your semester return date, or after it's already overdue. Print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page. Returning it EARLY, before your semester return date, deducts a 15% restocking fee and the label cost from your refund, the same as cancelling a shipped rental for a refund.
- 30-Day Cancellation
- Changed your mind? Cancel an active rental within 30 days of your order from My Account → My Rentals. Cancel before your book ships and it’s free; once it has shipped, we refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book.
