Criminal Procedure: A Comparative Approach, First Edition is designed with the premise that in order to understand one’s own system of law, including its positive and negative aspects, one must compare it with how other systems approach the same issues in democratic countries. The book compares the seminal jurisprudence of the U.S. Supreme Court and cases from state and lower federal courts with the approaches taken in democratic countries in Europe, Asia and Latin America, the European and Inter-American Courts of Human Rights, and the International Criminal Courts. This comparison is contextualized in relation to the burning issues of criminal procedure in a world where the democratic rule-of-law state is no longer something which can be taken for granted. Professors abroad, or those who teach specialized comparative classes, can decide how much U.S. law to include, and can augment the non-U.S. case selection by drawing from a large selection of other cases and statutory texts included in an online appendix.

The book will prompt discussions of reforms that aim to: (1) ensure that all segments of the population are treated equally; (2) prevent the conviction of the innocent based on insufficient or fabricated evidence; and (3) ensure that more cases are subjected to adversarial testing, proof beyond a reasonable doubt, and proportionate sentencing worthy of a democratic society.
