The Criminal Justice System: Its Functions and Personnel by George T. Felkenes Pdf

This is a study of the duties, functions, qualifications, selection processes, and potential for advancement associated with law enforcement, courts, and correctional personnel. The specific roles and the personnel that comprise the operating criminal justice system are identified and analyzed in this study. Detailing not only duties and functions, but also qualifications, selection processes, and even potential for advancement, the work forms an unusual perspective of the field for students of law enforcement, police science, criminal law, criminology, and corrections. The study details over fifty-five distinct professions within the criminal justice system, and discusses the qualifications required and the tasks performed by each. A major section of the book is its examination of the prosecutorial function - the powers and duties, the major concepts and criticisms of the role of the prosecutor, and the multi-faceted role of the defense attorney, including his duties and professional responsibilities, as well as the function of court appointed counsels and public defenders. Law enforcement is viewed at every level from municipal through federal agencies, with a focus on police legal advisors, criminalists, and the numerous other individuals who comprise the total law enforcement complex. The function of the court is presented through the roles of the various court officers - judges, juries, grand juries, bailiffs, clerks, and reporters. Each is discussed in terms of qualifications, duties, and function in the mechanics of the courtroom procedure. A final section covers the corrections system - the custodial and institutional personnel, as well as the juvenile, probation and parole officers who work with offenders in the community.

Criminal Procedure: Rights and Remedies in Police Investigations - CasebookPlus by Donald A. Dripps Pdf

This casebook on investigative criminal procedure takes a fresh and uniquely contemporary doctrinal approach. It begins with enough history to enable students to follow the historical arguments that pervade the Supreme Court's great landmarks. Those landmarks receive extensive coverage. Scholarly lower-court opinions, however, often are used as force-multipliers, to synthesize and apply the ever-growing Supreme Court case law. Many of these opinions arose from civil actions, illustrating Section 1983 litigation even before the extensive chapter on constitutional remedies. That chapter deals with the exclusionary rule, but also with 1983 and Bivens suits. Institutional reform injunctions--the most dramatic development in the field in decades--receive extensive treatment. Brief but detailed Notes introduce pertinent academic literature, including empirical findings on stop-and-frisk and institutional reform injunctions, systemic feedback loops, the philosophical basis of the privilege against self-incrimination, and the role of race--past and present--in the law of criminal procedure. Prior books emphasize the Supreme Court's decisions applying the constitutional exclusionary rules. This understandable focus comes at a price. Too little attention is paid to the origins of our constitutional rights or to remedies for institutional violence as distinct from invasions of privacy. The prevailing focus on the e-rule risks devoting the whole course to only part (admittedly a very important part) of the law.

Privilege and Punishment by Matthew Clair Pdf

How the attorney-client relationship favors the privileged in criminal court—and denies justice to the poor and to working-class people of color The number of Americans arrested, brought to court, and incarcerated has skyrocketed in recent decades. Criminal defendants come from all races and economic walks of life, but they experience punishment in vastly different ways. Privilege and Punishment examines how racial and class inequalities are embedded in the attorney-client relationship, providing a devastating portrait of inequality and injustice within and beyond the criminal courts. Matthew Clair conducted extensive fieldwork in the Boston court system, attending criminal hearings and interviewing defendants, lawyers, judges, police officers, and probation officers. In this eye-opening book, he uncovers how privilege and inequality play out in criminal court interactions. When disadvantaged defendants try to learn their legal rights and advocate for themselves, lawyers and judges often silence, coerce, and punish them. Privileged defendants, who are more likely to trust their defense attorneys, delegate authority to their lawyers, defer to judges, and are rewarded for their compliance. Clair shows how attempts to exercise legal rights often backfire on the poor and on working-class people of color, and how effective legal representation alone is no guarantee of justice. Superbly written and powerfully argued, Privilege and Punishment draws needed attention to the injustices that are perpetuated by the attorney-client relationship in today’s criminal courts, and describes the reforms needed to correct them.
