Preface
I have been fascinated by criminal procedure since I was first introduced to the subject in law school. Criminal procedure has continued to inspire me over the three decades that I have taught the course. Writing this text has been a labor of love, and I hope it conveys my passion toward this intellectually challenging field. I tell students that there are good reasons to study criminal procedure:
The American tradition. Criminal procedure provides an introduction to various provisions of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights and involves a discussion of the values and legal judgments that are the foundation of American democracy.
Professional preparation. Anyone who aspires to a career in criminal justice should understand the rules that regulate areas such as interrogations, searches and seizures, and street encounters. Police
officers, in particular, apply the rules of criminal procedure on a daily basis.
Academic preparation. The study of criminal procedure helps develop logical and critical thinking and analytical reading. Public policy. Criminal procedure addresses issues that are at the
heart of the public policy debate in criminal justice, including search and seizure, capital punishment, and the limits of police powers.
The study of the law. Reading Supreme Court cases in the field of criminal procedure introduces students to the leading cases in the history of the Court and provides an opportunity to read the actual
judgments of some of the greatest jurists in U.S. history.
