Learning objectives and summary outlines of recent Supreme Court decisions, combined with practical examples and selected actual court documents, enhance students’ understanding of the most important issues regarding the US Constitution and its application in the criminal justice system. The book begins with an overview of the Bill of Rights, followed by an examination of the components of the judiciary. It moves on to a discussion of due process; the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Amendments; and the exclusionary rule. A unique chapter addressing civil liability and the criminal justice professional is especially relevant to students in criminal justice programs.
Concise and informative, this book is designed to be used in undergraduate courses in criminal justice and justice administration programs in universities and community colleges.
