Comparative Criminal Procedure:

History, Processes and Case Studies

Second Edition

By: Raneta Lawson Mack

• Logical and process-oriented approach to comparing criminal procedure globally
• Condensed versions of cases from the European Court of Human Rights
• Most up-to-date statutory material from England, France, and Germany
• Demystifies foreign codes and case law

• The book takes a process-oriented approach that begins with police searches and continues through to the trial and appeals process so students can compare how various countries approach each of these stages in the criminal process. It starts with a historical overview of the adversarial and inquisitorial system of justice to allow students to understand the foundation of each system before moving to a discussion of their differences. It also contains case studies that allow students to study the concepts learned in the chapter from a real-world perspective and enhance their learning in a way that descriptive text may not. The book stands out for its logical and process-oriented approach to comparative criminal procedure and the manner in which it demystifies foreign codes and case law to increase student comprehension. This book will aid in understanding the different processes that countries might use to prosecute crimes within their borders. New to the Second Edition The second edition of Comparative Criminal Procedure contains the most up-to-date statutory material from England, France and Germany in a variety of areas and more condensed versions of cases from the European Court of Human Rights to maintain focus on the core aspects of those opinions.
