Reviews

The most complete and student friendly text that I have seen. The authors have set up the book so that it flows in a way that makes sense and does not jump around. This book is perfect for undergraduates because it provides them with the knowledge that they need without being overcomplicated. * Heather Donovan, Lindenwood University * A good blend of theoretical and practical aspects of a criminal procedure text. * Robert Mongue, University of Mississippi * This is an outstanding, very readable text that brings the law to life with its unique approach. It provides a practitioner view along with sample documents and case review material which is outstanding. * Gregory Warchol, Northern Michigan University *
