Abstract

THIS WORK USES A CASEBOOK METHOD OF INSTRUCTION RATHER THAN A TEXTUAL TREATMENT. IN ADDITION TO SELECTED SETS OF APPELLATE COURT OPINIONS, INCLUDING THOSE OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, THIS TEXT CONTAINS SOME INTRODUCTORY TEXTUAL AND NOTE MATERIALS RELATED TO THE MAIN CASE REPORTS. ALSO INCLUDED IS A REPRODUCTION OF THOSE PORTIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES AND ITS AMENDMENTS WHICH ARE RELEVANT TO THE GENERAL PROBLEMS REGARDING THE LAW OF CRIMES AND THE PROCEDURES BY WHICH THAT LAW IS TO BE ENFORCED. OTHER TOPICS COVERED IN THE TEXT INCLUDE AN OUTLINE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE, ENTRAPMENT, UNCOMPLETED CRIMINAL CONDUCT AND CRIMINAL COMBINATIONS, THE EXCLUSIONARY RULE AND ITS ALTERNATIVES, IDENTIFICATION PROCEDURES, INTERROGATIONS AND CONFESSIONS, AND PROSECUTORIAL DISCRETION.
