Criminal Procedure: Cases, Readings, and Comparative Perspectives

Criminal Cases, Readings, and Comparative Perspectives offers insight into the most compelling issues surrounding the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments. Through the use of selected United States Supreme Court cases and scholarly literature in the field, students will be guided step by step through the development of the law. Each section offers notes and questions designed to encourage critical thinking about individual issues, as well as the interrelationship of various concepts. Finally, this book distinguishes itself by presenting students with comparative perspectives on many of the important issues in criminal procedure -- thereby challenging readers to think globally about the application of these principles.Raneta Lawson Mack is professor of Law at Creighton University School of Law, where she has taught criminal law and procedure courses for 20 years.
