Customer Reviews

Best choice

I purchased this book in lue of the edition that was currently being used in my class in the middle of the semester. It served me well. I have an A average in the course! It was delivered in a quick and timely fashion. And the rating of the books condition was very accurate. It was in great shape for a used book and the price was right in line with a very strained budget. I will definately order from this vendor again. In short I was super pleased witht the overall transaction. This is the explination for the 5 star rating I have given this purchase choice. The alternative to this purchase was the newest edition of this book at a selling price of $175 in the campus book store. I got my great book in great condition for about $13 bucks after shipping! So I guess you can be the judge...Happy Shopping!!!

Criminal Procedure: Law & Practice (7th Ed)

Very well written and well formatted textbook. Highly recommended for any Criminal Justice student. Next edition to come out in January 2009.

Wonderful Textbook for Daily Use

This is a nice textbook. This textbook is very easy to use with great references. This book will be useful even after the class is over. It is very useful.

The book you will use for years.

This is the book that I go to when people ask me about criminal law procedure. The text is comprehensive from investigation and examination to execution of sentencing. If your CJ curriculum uses this book and you are debating on whether to buy it, buy it. I have an earlier version and although it may be dated, it would be in case law only. Because of the breadth of information compiled in this text, I used this book alone for a ton of my classes.
