Constitutional Law and the Criminal Justice System 5th Edition PDF Download Ebook. J. Scott Harr, Kären M. Hess provide real-world illustrations, succinct case summaries, and proven learning tools to equip readers with a solid understanding of our often complex Constitution and criminal justice system.
Avoiding confusing "legalese", the book features more than 200 plainly written, summarized cases that introduce readers to the most influential and relevant cases. It also thoroughly covers the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, exploring their application to issues relevant to criminal justice: reasonable search and seizure, double jeopardy, and testifying against oneself. In addition, the book’s cutting-edge coverage includes such high-profile topics as immigration, terrorism/homeland security, death row, and more.
Highlights throughout each chapter answer the questions. In addition, end-of-chapter material includes a Summary and Discussion Questions, which further reinforce key chapter concepts while encouraging students to critically examine those concepts. Full case citations and Internet exercises are included at the end of each chapter, helping readers discover additional information about the cases and issues discussed in the text.
Chapter 7, “The Second Amendment: The Gun Control Controversy”, provides an extensive examination of people’s right to bear arms, a topic not typically covered with any depth by constitutional law texts designed for criminal justice and political science departments.
To ensure that readers have up-to-date information on critical research skills and technology tools, Chapter 4 now includes coverage of LEXIS/NEXIS, an expanded discussion of the methodology of legal writing in general and case briefs in particular, and an exploration of the Internet’s limitations that shows readers how to discern the quality of information available on various websites. The text presents small segments of case law in order to avoid overwhelming the student.
