Description

Negotiating Crime: Plea Bargaining, Problem Solving, and Dispute Resolution in the Criminal Context 2nd Edition Cynthia Alkon ISBN 9781531032180

Negotiating Crime: Plea Bargaining, Problem Solving, and Dispute Resolution in the Criminal Context, now in its second edition, remains the first comprehensive textbook to examine how criminal cases in the United States are resolved outside of trial. This edition has been fully updated to reflect the latest scholarship on criminal legal reform and the post-pandemic landscape.

The book integrates criminal procedure, policy analysis, and dispute resolution theory to explore modern criminal law practice. The first half focuses on plea bargaining, addressing not only procedural practice but also policy concerns, reform proposals, and negotiation theory applied directly to the plea process. The second half examines problem-solving and therapeutic justice courts, including drug courts, mental health courts, restorative justice programs, and juvenile justice systems, concluding with insights into criminal system design and operation.

Designed for criminal law clinics, seminars, and workshops, this book equips students with a blend of practical skills, theoretical frameworks, and policy perspectives, preparing the next generation of criminal lawyers to navigate and shape the evolving criminal justice system.
