The Oxford Handbook of Prosecutors and Prosecution

By: Ronald F. Wright,Kay L. Levine,Russell M. Gold

The power of the modern prosecutor arises from several features of the criminal justice landscape: widespread use of law and order political rhetoric and heightened fear of crime among voters; legislatures' embrace of extreme sentencing ranges to respond to such concerns; and the uncertain or limited accountability of prosecutors to the electorate, the bar, or other political and professional constituencies. The convergence of these trends has transformed prosecution into an indispensable field of study. This volume brings together the work of leading international scholars across criminology, sociology, political science, and law - along with contributions from reform-minded practitioners - to examine a variety of issues in prosecutorial behaviour and the institutional structures that frame their behavior. The Handbook connects the dots among existing theoretical and empirical research related to prosecutors. Major sections of the volume cover (1) prosecutor performance during distinct phases of a criminal case, (2) the features of the prosecutor's environment, both inside the office and external to the office, that influence the choices of individual prosecutors and office leaders, and (3) prosecutorial strategies and priorities when dealing with specialized types of crimes, victims, and defendants. Taken together, the chapters in this volume identify the founding texts, discuss leading theoretical and methodological approaches, explain the scope of unresolved issues, and preview where this field is headed. The volume provides a bottom-up view of an important new scholarly field.

Criminal Procedures, Cases, Statutes, and Executive Materials

2022 Supplement

By: Marc L. Miller,Ronald F. Wright,Jenia I. Turner,Kay L. Levine

Criminal Procedures: Cases, Statutes, and Executive Materialsis known for its focus on materials from multiple institutions, including primary materials from U.S. Supreme Court cases, state high court cases, state and federal statutes, rules of procedure, and police and prosecutorial policies, along with materials from social science studies. Taken together, the principal materials highlight procedural variety, focus on real-world topics, provide the political context, offer a comparative analysis of different legal approaches, and consider the impact of procedures. The 2022 Supplement covers the most recent decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court as well as newsworthy developments such as policing and bail reform, emerging legal responses to new surveillance technologies, and the declination policies of newly-elected prosecutors. New to the 2022 Edition: Two new authors joined the editorial team in 2019: Jenia Iontcheva Turner of SMU Dedman School of Law and Kay L. Levine of Emory University School of Law. With her doctoral training in Socio-Legal Studies and her balanced experience as a prosecutor and a defense attorney in state court, Professor Levine sharpens the focus of the book on the real-world operation of courtroom actors in high-volume state systems. With her background in international criminal tribunals and comparative criminal procedure, Professor Turner strengthens the comparisons between court systems in the U.S. and those around the world. The 2022 Supplement incorporates all of the Criminal Procedure rulings of the U.S. Supreme Court from its October 2019, October 2020, and October 2021 terms, whether through reprinting opinions as principal materials or through summary coverage in new notes and practice problems. The Supplement includes opinions from high state courts that add texture to the doctrines described in the main volume. The Supplement also spotlights new legislative and enforcement trends, including proposals for limiting police use of force, “defunding” or reforming police departments, emerging legal responses to new surveillance technologies, bail reform, and the declination policies that prosecutors publish and apply.

Criminal Procedures

Prosecution and Adjudication: Cases, Statutes, and Executive Materials

By: Marc L. Miller,Ronald F. Wright,Jenia I. Turner,Kay L. Levine

Criminal Procedures: Prosecution and Adjudication, by Marc Miller, Ronald Wright, Jenia Turner, and Kay Levine, focuses on the interactions among multiple institutions in shaping the law of Criminal Procedure, bringing state courts, legislatures, prosecutor offices, and public defenders into the picture alongside the U.S. Supreme Court. In Criminal Procedures: Prosecution and Adjudication: Cases, Statutes, and Executive Materials, the highly respected author team presents a student-friendly, comprehensive survey of the laws and practices at work between the time a person is charged and the moment when the courts hear an appeal after the offender’s conviction and sentence. In the Sixth Edition, the authors retain the vitality and contemporary approach of the book with an updated selection of cases, statutes, and office policies. Covering in detail the “bail-to-jail” portions of the criminal process, this casebook features extensive use of documents from multiple institutions including U.S. Supreme Court cases, state high court cases, state and federal statutes, rules of procedure, and prosecutorial policies; a real-world perspective that focuses on high-volume issues of current importance to defendants, lawyers, courts, legislators, and the public; interdisciplinary examination of the impact that different procedures have on the enforcers, lawyers, courts, communities, defendants, and victims; points of comparison between U.S. practices and the systems at work in other countries; and frequent use of Problems to give the instructor options for applying concepts and doctrines in realistic practice settings. New to the 7th Edition: Coverage of declination and plea negotiation policies in the offices of “progressive prosecutors. Enhanced coverage of the operation of state speedy trial statutes in high-volume courts. Fresh evaluation of historical trends and current practices in plea bargaining. Coverage of recent rulings of the U.S. Supreme Court on jury selection and unanimous jury verdicts.

The Creationists

The Creationists

By: Ronald L. Numbers

Forty-seven percent of the American people, according to a 1991 Gallup poll, believe that God made man--as man is now--in a single act of creation, and within the last ten thousand years. Ronald L. Numbers chronicles the astonishing resurgence of this belief since the 1960s, as well as the creationist movement's tangled roots in the theologies of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Baptists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Adventists, and other religious groups. Even more remarkable than Numbers's story of today's widespread rejection of the theory of evolution is the dramatic shift from acceptance of the earth's antiquity to the insistence of present-day scientific creationists that most fossils date back to Noah's flood and its aftermath, and that the earth itself is not more than ten thousand years old. Numbers traces the evolution of scientific creationism and shows how the creationist movement challenges the very meaning of science.
