criminal justice professionals the training they need to recognize
the constitutional principles that apply to their daily work.

Devine provide a comprehensive, well-organized, and up-to-date
analysis of constitutional issues that affect the US justice

force, search and seizure, technologically assisted surveillance,
the Wiretap Act, interrogations and confessions,
self-incrimination, witness identification procedures, the right to
counsel, procedural safeguards during criminal trials, First
Amendment issues relevant to law enforcement, and capital
punishment. The final chapter covers the constitutional rights of
criminal justice professionals in the workplace, their protection
under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and their accountability
under 42 U.S.C. ยง 1983 for violating the constitutional rights of
others. Part II contains abstracts of key judicial decisions
exemplifying how the doctrines covered in earlier chapters are
being applied by the courts. The combination of text and cases
