| Abstract
|
:
|
"With this plain speaking book that keep legalese to a minimum, you will gain a solid understanding of The Constitution as it relates to our criminal justice system. To ground you in the laws that shape the system and our society, authors J. Scott Harr and Karen M. Hess present you with a clearly organized, bird's eye view of the field, supported by influential, pertinent cases summarized for your ease of understanding. The authors also explore the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, relevant because of their application to key criminal justice issues such as reasonable search and seizure, double jeopardy, and testifying against oneself."--Jacket.
