Briefs of Leading Cases in Corrections, Hardback Book

Briefs of Leading Cases in Corrections Hardback

Hardback

Description

Briefs of Leading Cases in Corrections, Sixth Edition, offers extensive updates on the leading Supreme Court cases impacting corrections in the United States—prisons and jails, probation, parole, the death penalty, juvenile justice, and sexual assault offender laws.

Each chapter contains an introduction to the topic area, making the book more user-friendly and a better source of succinct legal information than before.

All cases are briefed in a common format to allow for comparisons among cases and include facts, relevant issues, and the Court’s decision and reasoning.

The significance of each case is also explained, making clear its impact on prisoners and corrections in general.

The book provides students and practitioners with historical and social context for their role in criminal justice and the legal guidelines that should be followed in day-to-day correctional activities.

Twenty-one cases have been added, including those in a new section on the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act.
