• Completely current, the tenth edition of this popular criminal procedures text reflects the latest issues and developments from the field. Expanded coverage of today's high profile issues includes detailed discussions of use of force, vehicle searches, stop and frisk, racial profiling, seizures of text/email messages, the use of technology in law enforcement, and many other relevant topics.

• Updated case coverage keeps pace with the most current laws and procedures. New cases include Navarette v. California (2014), which determined that an anonymous tip about a seemingly intoxicated motorist justified a traffic stop to investigate (Ch. 5); Maryland v. King, which concluded that police may collect DNA evidence from any arrestee (Ch. 6); Florence v. Board of Chosen Freeholders of the County of Burlington (2012) on the constitutionality of strip searches (Ch. 6); and Missouri v. McNeely (2013) on the need for a warrant before taking a drunken-driving suspect's blood sample (Ch. 7).

• A new feature in each chapter, "Myth vs. Reality," debunks common misconceptions about criminal procedure; for instance, that a police officer may conduct a frisk after he or she makes a stop based on reasonable suspicion, or that the sole purpose of the exclusionary rule is the deterrence of police misconduct.

• The "In Action" features (which present realistic scenarios on such topics as stop and frisk, the exclusionary rule, and license and registration checkpoints along with discussion questions to encourage critical thinking) and "Highlight" boxes (which briefly summarize key aspects of a law or criminal procedure policy as it relates to the chapter topic) have been updated.
