For more than two decades, Criminal Procedure: Principles,
Policies, and Perspectives (and its softcover versions, Criminal
Procedure: Investigating Crime and Criminal Procedure: Prosecuting
Crime), written by Joshua Dressler, George C. Thomas III and, in
the past two editions, Daniel S. Medwed, has sought to inspire
students to analyze and critique constitutional and
non-constitutional criminal procedure doctrine. The book features
careful case selection and editing that includes dissenting and
concurring opinions when useful in understanding and critiquing the
law. The Notes and Questions are uniformly thoughtful and sometimes
even intentionally (and, the authors hope, not unintentionally)
humorous. The Eighth Edition includes most of the cases and
material that users have told us were successful in the past. The
book continues to include "in the trenches" material that gives
students an idea of what life is like inside the squad car, the
interrogation room, and the courtroom. Among the changes and
additions to the new edition: More materials throughout the
casebook on racism in the criminal justice system, police use of
excessive force, and gender discrimination. A new chapter section
dealing exclusively with civil remedies for Fourth Amendment
violations. New Notes on other Fourth Amendment decisions since the
prior edition, as well as new Problems based on recent state and
lower federal court opinions. Some reorganization of the
interrogation materials, including a return of the old chestnut
case, Escobedo v. Illinois, as a more effective bridge to Miranda
v. Arizona. Updated Notes on empirical research on eyewitness
identification procedures. In the Case Screening chapter, new Notes
address recent changes in charging practices, including discussion
of the movement by some prosecutors to decline to charge certain
categories of crimes. In the Role of Defense Counsel chapter, Scott
v. Illinois is removed as a principal case and moved into the Notes
for greater clarity, and there is fascinating new information
regarding David Washington (of Strickland v. Washington). In the
Trial chapter, the addition of Ramos v. Louisiana, which overrules
prior case law and presents thoughtful discussion of the role of
stare decisis.
