A leader in criminal justice education for more than 40 years, this popular, student-friendly text presents an up-to-date analysis of critical constitutional issues. Special attention is given to issues of greatest concern to criminal justice personnel - detention, arrest, search and seizure, interrogations and confessions, self-incrimination, due process, and right to counsel. Also includes constitutional aspects of criminal and civil liabilities of justice personnel, and constitutional and civil rights in the workplace.

Each chapter includes a chapter outline; a list of key terms and concepts, which are defined in a glossary; and diagrams and figures that highlight important points in the text.

Part II presents key, edited cases to assist in interpreting the constitutional provisions.
