Description
The Criminal Law Handbook demystifies the criminal justice system. It explains—in plain English—how the system works, why police, lawyers, and judges do what they do, and what suspects, defendants, and prisoners can expect. This reference book covers the criminal process from stops on the street to arrest, bail, plea bargains, trials, sentencing, and appeals. Learn about defendants’ constitutional rights, common defenses, defense strategies, and more. With this book, you can make sense of courtroom legalese (voir dire, ex parte, arraignment, indictment), unravel and understand criminal rules of procedure and evidence, and learn through everyday examples of the system at work. The authors provide useful and critical information in an easy-to-understand question-and-answer format. Whatever prompts your interest, the criminal justice system belongs to you and you have a right to know how it works.
