The Constitution and the Future of Criminal Justice in America

"The Constitution and the Future of Criminal Justice in America draws together leading scholars from law, psychology, and criminology to address timely and important topics in U.S. criminal justice. The book tackles cutting-edge issues related to terrorism, immigration, and transnational crime, and to the increasingly important connections between criminal law and the fields of social science and neuroscience. It also provides critical new perspectives on intractable problems such as the right to counsel, race and policing, and the proper balance between security and privacy. By putting legal theory and doctrine into a concrete and accessible context, the book will advance public policy and scholarly debates alike. This collection of chapters is appropriate for anyone interested in understanding the current state of criminal justice and its future challenges"--Unedited summary from book cover.
