America's Courts and the Criminal Justice System 11e


America's Courts and the Criminal Justice System 11th Edition PDF Download Ebook. David W. Neubauer and Henry F. Fradella give realistic sense of being in the courthouse, enabling you to quickly gain an understanding of what it is like to work in and be a part of the American criminal justice system.

The book's approach, which focuses on the courthouse "players," makes it easy to understand each person's important role in bringing a case through the court process. Throughout the book, the authors highlight not only the pivotal role of the criminal courts but also the court's importance and impact on society as a whole.

After devoting separate chapters to the various actors in the courtroom, the latter half of the text looks at the criminal court process from arrest and arraignment to appeals in eight separate chapters. A final chapter looks at the juvenile court system. The CD-ROM contains interactive programs that cast the user as the judge in six different cases, providing the case files, lawyer and witness testimony, and the relevant statutes.

This text features a unique emphasis on courthouse dynamics, which gives students a true sense of "being in the courthouse." Authors provide students with a means of focusing on important issues and how to think critically about them. "Case Close-Up" boxes in each chapter present an important court decision that has affected our nation's criminal justice system. These boxes also highlight the dynamic nature of courts in the United States.

The book features three appendices: the U.S. Constitution; An Overview of the United States Constitution, focusing on those parts of the Constitution that describe the judicial system; and Legal Reasoning, an explanation of adjudication as the formal process by which legal disputes are judicially resolved in courts of law.

"Courts and Controversy" boxes deal with contentious issues in the criminal courts system and how these issues are resolved. To provide maximum learning reinforcement, each chapter begins with numbered learning objectives that are carefully matched to the text discussion and the end-of-chapter summary (Chapter Review).
