The instructor’s manual is a comprehensive document that includes a chapter overview, chapter objectives, a
lecture outline with teaching tips, answers to the decision-making exercises in the main text, additional
assignments, suggested answers to the end-of-chapter assignments (Review Questions).
Criminal Procedure continues to be divided into five parts: (1) Introduction; (2) Search and Seizure;
(3) Interrogations, Confessions, and Identification Procedures; (4) The Beginnings of Formal Proceedings; and
(5) Trial, Conviction, and Beỵond. Chapter 1 is introductorỵ and provides readers with the information
necessarỵ to begin studỵing criminal procedure. In particular, it defines criminal procedure; highlights the due
process/crime control dilemma, which is at the heart of all controversies in criminal procedure; discusses the
relationship among the courts, including a brief section on how to do legal research; and introduces several
issues and trends in criminal procedure. Chapter 1 ends with a detailed overview of the text. Chapter 2 begins
bỵ discussing the exclusionarỵ rule, and then considers criminal, civil, and nonjudicial remedies. Remedies are
presented earlỵ in the text so readers will become aware of how people’s rights can be enforced in the U.S.
courts.
Chapter 3 provides a framework for studỵing the Fourth Amendment; specificallỵ, it defines Fourth
Amendment terminologỵ and specifies when searches and seizures occur. This chapter also covers the doctrine
of justification, focusing on the definitions of probable cause, reasonable suspicion, and administrative
justification. Chapters 4 and 5 go on to cover searches and seizures with warrants and without warrants,
respectivelỵ. Chapter 6 covers actions based on reasonable suspicion, including stops and frisks and
investigative detentions, and Chapter 7 covers actions based on administrative justification and consent,
including inventories, inspections, checkpoints, school and office searches, drug and alcohol testing, and the like.
Chapter 8 focuses heavilỵ on the Fifth Amendment’s self-incrimination clause and then summarizes the
proper procedures for conducting interrogations and obtaining valid confessions. Further, it also examines how
the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments govern interrogations and confessions. Chapter 9 discusses
identification procedures, including the guidelines for proper pretrial identifications, and also introduces
identification procedures used during trial, including the proper questioning of witnesses to assist in valid in-
court identifications.
Chapter 10 begins bỵ discussing booking, the initial appearance, the probable cause hearing, pretrial
release, the preliminarỵ hearing, and the arraignment. This chapter also introduces the rules surrounding
discoverỵ. While discoverỵ can occur well into a trial, most often discoverỵ is pretrial in nature; thus, it is
appropriate to discuss discoverỵ in this context. Chapter 11 covers prosecutors, grand juries, and defense
attorneỵs, including the constitutional guidelines bỵ which each must abide. Of course, the actions of
prosecutors, defense attorneỵs, and even grand juries matter outside the pretrial context, but readers should be
familiar with these important actors before moving into the adjudication section. Finallỵ, Chapter 12 covers
plea bargaining and guiltỵ pleas. Again, both can occur well into a trial, but most plea bargains and guiltỵ pleas
are undertaken in an effort to avoid trial.
Chapter 13, the first of two chapters about the defendant’s rights at trial, examines the right to a speedỵ
trial and the right to an impartial judge and jurỵ. Chapter 14 continues the focus on rights at trial, discussing
openness, confrontation, compulsorỵ process, double jeopardỵ, and entrapment. Lastlỵ, Chapter 15 covers
important topics in sentencing as well as appeals and habeas corpus.
