Criminal Procedures: The Police: Cases, Statutes, and Executive Materials, Seventh Edition, is a comprehensive treatment of criminal procedure that depicts the enormous variety within criminal justice systems by examining the procedures and policies of both federal and state systems and looking at sources of law and doctrine from multiple institutions. This “real-world” text offers students and instructors a deliberate focus on the realities of the high-volume circumstances that surround criminal procedure. The currency and timeliness of the Seventh Edition of this highly regarded casebook are ensured by an updated selection of cases and statutes as well as expanded coverage of important areas. This time- and classroom-tested casebook: Surveys the constitutional, statutory, and administrative doctrines and practices that shape how the police interact with citizens and investigate crimes; examines the procedures and policies of both federal and state systems, as well as the assumptions and judgments underlying each, and how these systems interrelate and sometimes compete with one another; looks at sources of law and doctrine from multiple institutions, including U.S. Supreme Court cases, state high court cases, statutes, rules of procedure, and police and prosecutorial policies; explores the influence of politics within various institutions of law enforcement and the role of public pressure on policing and procedure with regard to terrorism, drug trafficking, domestic abuse, and the treatment of crime victims; compares U.S. practices with the criminal investigations that happen in other countries; investigates the impact of criminal procedures on law enforcers, lawyers, courts, communities, defendants, and victims through the use of interdisciplinary materials.

New to the 7th Edition:

  • New organization for the search and seizure chapters to better reflect long-term doctrinal changes.
  • Coverage of new design options for police organizations, inspired by the “Defund the Police” movement.
  • Spotlighting the Breonna Taylor tragedy in Louisville as a focal point for discussion of no-knock warrants.
  • Emphasis throughout the search and seizure chapters on the interaction between technology and doctrinal change.

Professors and students will benefit from:

  • Materials that support class discussion, including criminal court actors beyond the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court: the vision is “street-level federalism.&rdquo
  • Materials that portray for students the range of current practices in criminal justice rather than a rushed historical narrative about doctrinal trends.
  • Supporting website that offers exemplar documents from legal practice, recent news with relevance for criminal procedure, and brief video lectures to introduce each major unit.
  • Emphasis on high-volume practical issues in criminal procedure instead of intricate but rarely-encountered questions.
  • Intuitive organization (particularly in the search and seizure units) that makes it easy to see connections among different areas of the law.

About the authors
Marc L. Miller
Dean and Professor of Law
University of Arizona College of Law

Marc L. Miller is the Dean & Ralph W. Bilby Professor of Law at the University of Arizona College of Law. Dean Miller taught at Emory University Law School from 1988-2005, where he served as Associate Dean for Faculty and Scholarship (2003-2005). He is a graduate of the University of Chicago Law School and Pomona College, and grew up in Los Angeles. Dean Miller writes and teaches about environmental law and policy and criminal law and policy. He is the author of more than 70 articles and essays on a wide range of environmental, criminal justice, immigration and legal theory topics. He is editor of several casebooks on criminal procedure and sentencing, and co-founded the Federal Sentencing Reporter, the leading journal on sentencing law and policy and a joint project of the Vera Institute of Justice and the University of California Press. He currently serves as a series editor for Summits—books focused on the intersection of environmental science, law, and policy.

Dean Miller's scholarship addresses the nature of law. On the criminal side, current work includes a series of articles on the role and regulation of prosecutorial discretion, including a multi-year empirical evaluation of prosecutorial decision-making. At a more general theoretical level, this work deals with policymaking within executive branch agencies, especially in those areas not readily amenable to external judicial or legislative review. His environmental work highlights topics at the intersection of environmental science, policy, and law with special attention to the concept of sustainability and to the relationship between science and environmental policy-making. Much of his environmental work is done in collaboration with natural and social scientists.

At Arizona, Dean Miller serves as co-director of the Arizona Law Program in Criminal Law and Policy, and has joint and affiliated appointments with the University of Arizona Institute of the Environment, the Environmental Health Sciences Program of the University of Arizona Zuckerman School of Public Health, and with the Global Change PhD minor, among other programs and institutes. He serves on various university committees, including a workgroup through the McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship at the Eller College of Management to create a new Masters program focusing on capitalizing ventures. He also serves on the steering committee developing a new graduate degree certificate program in American Indian natural resource, and as Associate Director for Interdisciplinary Education for the Arizona Telemedicine Program.

Before teaching, Dean Miller served as law clerk to Chief Judge John Godbold of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, as Attorney-Advisor in the Office of Legal Counsel of the U.S. Department of Justice, and as Special Counsel at the Vera Institute of Justice in New York. Dean Miller has been a visiting professor at Stanford Law School and Duke Law School.
