Whitebread and Slobogin's Criminal Procedure, An Analysis of Cases and Concepts, 5th Softcover (University Textbook Series)

This publication covers the law governing the criminal process, excluding sentencing. The first half of the book examines legal strictures on investigative techniques—search and seizure, interrogation, subpoenas, identification procedures, and undercover work—and the second half discusses the adjudicatory process, from pretrial detention and the charging decision through preliminary hearings, discovery, plea bargaining, trial, appeal, and habeas, as well as double-jeopardy doctrine, right-to-counsel issues, and state constitutional law. Each chapter ends with a summary of the law and a bibliography.
