Overview
These are remarkable times in criminal justice, and these remarkable events must become part of a vibrant criminal procedure course. In the long-term aftermath of the events of September 11, 2001, lawyers and judges in criminal courts all over the country continue to generate questions about how criminal procedure might change with the threat of terrorism in the background. The U.S. Supreme Court has proven remarkably active in the area for several years running, and the high state courts have added important insights of their own. These events are altering the law of pretrial detention, habeas corpus, suspicionless stops, and many other topics.
This supplement extends the breadth and depth of the core casebook. The authors have also created Internet Web pages for the casebook to enrich the resources available for students using this casebook. The electronic resources broaden, deepen, and enliven the core text.
The Criminal Procedures Web pages at www.crimpro.com include materials allowing students to test and expand their knowledge, such as:
- Practice problems
- Exams
- Short excerpts of articles on criminal procedure
- A virtual library with a few police manuals and prosecutorial policies that would otherwise be difficult to obtain
- Links to criminal justice resources on the Web
The authors welcome suggestions for materials to post on the Web pages or to publish in future supplements. Together, the casebook, supplement, and Web pages offer a complete, coherent, and challenging set of tools for learning about criminal procedure.
