Criminal Evidence

Product Description
Criminal Evidence is a well-respected and trusted introduction to the rules of criminal evidence for criminal justice students and professionals. Part I of this book generally follows the order and logic of the Federal Rules of Evidence in its explanation of how evidence is collected, preserved, and presented in a criminal court proceeding. Part II provides a selection of edited, relevant criminal court cases that reinforce these basics and provide the context of how these rules are currently practiced. Readers gain an understanding of how concepts of evidence operate to convict the guilty and acquit the innocent. \nThis 14th Edition provides many updates, new references to recent Supreme Court cases, and a current version of the Federal Rules of Evidence. Student aids include chapter outlines, key terms, concepts lists, a glossary, a table of cases cited, and online case study questions. Teacher resources include an Instructor’s Guide, test bank, and PowerPoint slides. \nUpdated with all the newest relevant law, this book is appropriate for undergraduate students in criminal evidence and related courses.
