Criminal Procedure is a comprehensive introduction to criminal procedure, from an individual's first encounter with police, all the way through to appeal. Assuming no legal expertise, the text connects criminal procedure cases to real implications through innovative pedagogy. For example, decision-making exercises position students as judges and challenge them to decide cases based on the facts presented.

Conversational and easy to read, the 6th Edition adds Supreme Court decisions through the 2016-17 term and analyzes their impact on criminal and legal processes. Case law presentations now include more discussion of case facts and details. Web links and exercises at the end of each chapter have been revised to reflect content updates.
