Civil Liability in Criminal Justice is unique in its combination of applicable case law and related liability research, providing an overview of high-liability areas. This new edition has been revised to include up-to-date United States Supreme Court cases and illuminates the latest developments in the use of force, arrest-related deaths, custodial suicides in detention, collective bargaining, public perception issues, and more. Ross offers an engaging, accessible introduction to civil liability in the criminal justice system. A test bank and PowerPoint slides are available for instructor support.
A valuable resource for enhancing student knowledge and practitioner job performance, this text is suitable for undergraduate and graduate courses in criminal justice programs as well as for in-service and academy training.

Ross has provided technical assistance and consultation to local, county, state, federal, and private criminal justice agencies nationally and internationally, as well as to various branches of the military. He regularly provides training to line-level officers and administrators and makes presentations at national and international conferences on officer and supervisor liability issues, officer-involved shootings and investigations, use of force issues, sudden arrest-related deaths, and custodial deaths.
