5.0 out of 5 stars
Wow,
This review is from: Criminal Procedure for the Criminal Justice Professional (Hardcover)
This book has taught me so much, I was reading it just for fun even though I didn't have to. It explains stuff very well and helps understand what the law is when it comes to procedure. You have to read quite a few pages but you will know the stuff so well, I think it is very very well written. I noticed that some other reviews said the opposite and I have no idea what would make them say that maybe they are not just happy how they did in class and want to blame the book. Very honestly, this book is truly amazing and very informative. I will always have this book.

Nightmare of a textbook,
This review is from: Criminal Procedure for the Criminal Justice Professional (Hardcover)
I'm a Criminal Justice major in my junior year. I've had alot of CJ textbooks in my time, and this is by far the WORST I have ever had. First off, this book is incredibly dense, secondly the author seems to dance around the subjects alot, giving you lots of intricate details but failing to explain the core concepts. The title says "for the criminal justice professional" which to me says that this book is NOT written for college students, but rather officers that already have field experience and know the core concepts of arrest, search, and seizure. The chapters are ridiculously long and don't tell you much. The Stop and Frisk chapter alone is 73 pages!
Also, the previous edition is a whopping 170 pages lighter, despite being published in 2004. I really don't think there was 170 pages worth of change in Procedural Law in that time... If you have a class that requires this textbook, I suggest dropping it and finding a class that requires a textbook that was actually written for college students... Also, in response to some of the other reviews, I am a great student, made deans list several times. This book is simply not a good book for students who don't already know procedural law. There are much better texts out there that cover the same material.
