Description
Much of the daily work of
law enforcement officers, prosecutors and criminal
court judges is controlled by hundreds of decisions
issued by the US Supreme Court over the past few
decades. Keeping up with all of the principles
governing police searches and seizures, interrogation
of suspects and eyewitness identification procedures
has been a daunting challenge -- until now!
CRIMINAL EVIDENCE brings together in a single
volume all of the important Supreme Court rulings
affecting these highly-refined areas of law. More
importantly, the author and criminal justice
instructor, Devallis Rutledge, presents these court
opinions in an easy-to-understand format by the use of
plain-English explanations and examples. Authoritative
and comprehensible, this book summarizes, cites or
quotes from 426 Supreme Court decisions and simplifies
the concepts for the practicing professional.
