Constitutional Law for Criminal Justice, 16th Edition, offers
criminal justice professionals the training they need to recognize
the constitutional principles that apply to their daily work.
Kanovitz and revision authors Jefferson Ingram and Christopher
Devine provide a comprehensive, well-organized, and up-to-date
analysis of constitutional issues that affect the US justice
system. Chapter 1 summarizes the organization and content of the
Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Fourteenth Amendment. The
next eight chapters cover the constitutional principles that
regulate investigatory detentions, traffic stops, arrests, use of
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. § 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
creates flexibility in structuring class time. This book makes
complex concepts accessible to students in all levels of criminal
justice education. The chapters begin with an outline and end with
a summary. Key Terms and Concepts are defined in the Glossary.
Tables, figures, and charts are used to synthesize and simplify
information. The result is an incomparably clear, student-friendly
textbook that has remained a leader in criminal justice education
for more than 50 years. The accompanying Instructor and Student
Resources website provides free digital materials designed to test
student knowledge and save time when preparing lessons. Resources
include: Student access to practical quizzes including
multiple-choice and true-or-false questions, and case studies with
interactive questions and answers to test and apply knowledge A
downloadable comprehensive study guide, glossary, and appendix
including the text of the United States Constitution to enhance
understanding of each chapter alongside study Step-by-step
Instructor Guides and premade lesson slides that correspond to the
chapters in an editable format to saving valuable time on lesson
preparation Instructor access to test-bank questions for further
exam practice

During presidential campaigns, candidates crisscross the country
nonstop—visiting swing states, their home turf, and enemy
territory. But do all those campaign visits make a difference when
Election Day comes? If so, how and under what conditions? Do they
mobilize the partisan faithful or persuade undecided voters? What
do campaigns try to achieve through campaign visits—and when do
they succeed? I’m Here to Ask for Your Vote is a comprehensive
and compelling examination of the strategy and effectiveness of
presidential campaign visits. Christopher J. Devine uses an
original database of presidential and vice-presidential campaign
visits from 2008 through 2020 to estimate the effects of visits on
vote choice and turnout, both among individual voters and within
counties. He finds that campaign visits do not usually influence
voting behavior, but when they do, most often it is by persuading
undecided voters—as was the case for John McCain in 2008 and even
Donald Trump in 2020. Challenging the recent emphasis on candidates
playing to their base, this book suggests that persuasion is still
a viable campaign strategy, in which candidate visits may play a
major role. I’m Here to Ask for Your Vote is an authoritative and
engaging analysis designed for scholars, strategists, students, and
other readers interested in understanding how campaign visits—and
campaigns more broadly—shape presidential election outcomes.

This edited collection explores a wide range of communication
elements and themes, representing a variety of topics and
methodologies. It focuses broadly on the role and function of
communication within the context of the 2016 United States
presidential election, with chapters devoted to topics including an
overview of the election from a communication perspective, the
nominations, strategies of campaign visits, the impact of gender in
the campaign, the impact of WikiLeaks, front page election
coverage, messaging and performance of third-party candidates,
Trump's campaign announcement address, and Clinton's concession
speech. This is an eclectic collection that makes a significant
contribution to current understandings of the various roles of
communication in the historic presidential election of 2016.
The American vice presidency, as the saying goes, 'is not worth a
bucket of warm spit.' Yet vice presidential candidates, many people
believe, can make all the difference in winning-or losing-a
presidential election. Is that true, though? Did Sarah Palin, for
example, sink John McCain's campaign in 2008? Did Joe Biden help
Barack Obama win? Do running mates actually matter? In the first
book to put this question to a rigorous test, Christopher J. Devine
and Kyle C. Kopko draw upon an unprecedented range of empirical
data to reveal how, and how much, running mates influence voting in
presidential elections. Building on their previous work in The VP
Advantage and evidence from over 200 statistical models spanning
the 1952 to 2016 presidential elections, the authors analyze three
pathways by which running mates might influence vote choice. First,
of course, they test for direct effects, or whether evaluations of
the running mate influence vote choice among voters in general.
Next, they test for targeted effects-if, that is, running mates win
votes among key subsets of voters who share their gender, religion,
ideology, or geographic identity. Finally, the authors examine
indirect effects-that is, whether running mates shape perceptions
of the presidential candidate who selected them, which in turn
influence vote choice. Here, in this last category, is where we see
running mates most clearly influencing presidential
voting-especially when it comes to their qualifications for holding
office and taking over as president, if necessary. Picking a
running mate from a key voting bloc probably won't make a
difference, the authors conclude. But picking an experienced,
well-qualified running mate will make the presidential candidate
look better to voters---and win some votes. With its wealth of data
and expert analysis, this finely crafted study, the most
comprehensive to date, finally provides clear answers to one of the
most enduring questions in presidential politics: can the running
mate make a difference in this election?
