Constitutional Law Today serves as an introductory text for those
students contemplating careers as law enforcement or corrections
officers, prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges, or other criminal
justice professionals. In fourteen highly readable and relatable
chapters, the authors focus on the aspects of constitutional law
that most impact the day-to-day operations of the criminal justice
system. They encourage readers to develop a deep understanding of
how and why the Constitution, and the judicial decisions that
interpret it, apply to police officers and others working in the
justice system. The authors provide pedagogically rich materials
such as recurring boxes that examine important events, both
historic and modern, including The Constitution and Social Justice
and Focus on Law Enforcement. This book is intended primarily for
constitutional law courses in criminal justice programs at two- and
four-year institutions.
Thoroughly updated and featuring 75 new entries, this monumental
four-volume work illuminates past and present events associated
with civil rights and civil liberties in the United States. This
revised and expanded four-volume encyclopedia is unequaled for both
the depth and breadth of its coverage. Some 650 entries address the
full range of civil rights and liberties in America from the
Colonial Era to the present. In addition to many updates of
material from the first edition, the work offers 75 new entries
about recent issues and events; among them, dozens of topics that
are the subject of close scrutiny and heated debate in America
today. There is coverage of controversial issues such as voter ID
laws, the use of drones, transgender issues, immigration, human
rights, and government surveillance. There is also expanded
coverage of women's rights, gay rights/gay marriage, and Native
American rights. Entries are enhanced by 42 primary documents that
have shaped modern understanding of the extent and limitations of
civil liberties in the United States, including landmark statutes,
speeches, essays, court decisions, and founding documents of
influential civil rights organizations. Designed as an up-to-date
reference for students, scholars, and others interested in the
expansive array of topics covered, the work will broaden readers'
understanding of-and appreciation for-the people and events that
secured civil rights guarantees and concepts in this country. At
the same time, it will help readers better grasp the reasoning
behind and ramifications of 21st-century developments like changing
applications of Miranda Rights and government access to private
Internet data. Maintaining an impartial stance throughout, the
entries objectively explain the varied perspectives on these
hot-button issues, allowing readers to draw their own conclusions.
