Investigative Criminal Procedure: A Comparative Approach, First Edition picks up Chapters 1 through 9 from the author’s casebook, Criminal Procedure: A Comparative Approach, First Edition, and focuses on how the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments inform the regulation of detention, arrest, search and seizure, the use of secret investigative techniques and identification practices, and the interrogation of criminal suspects in the prevention and investigation of crime in the U.S. It explores the extent to which the criminal investigation is still secret and police-dominated and covers when the right to counsel is guaranteed during crucial investigative measures such as line-ups, interrogations, and searches. It also deals with the extent to which police and prosecutors may use racial profiling, deception, and pretext to induce criminal suspects to waive their constitutional rights to their own detriment. Finally, it compares the extent to which evidence gathered in violation of fundamental rights may be used to prove guilt at trial. 

The comparative approach shows how the U.S. has moved from a “due process” emphasis in the 1960s and 70s, which influenced countries all over the world, to one which prioritizes “crime control”; and compares the historical and contemporary U.S. approach with current jurisprudence and legislation in Europe and other democracies. This text helps students in the U.S. and abroad to better identify the strengths and weaknesses of their own systems while also prompting them to discuss the approaches which are more just, humane, and appropriate for a democratic society.
