<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Police investigations can become legal minefields. <i>Crime Scene Investigations</i> is a clear guide to the powers and limitations of law enforcement officials. From the right to a lawyer's advice, to privacy law in search and seizures, to stop-and-frisk-style carding operations, this book covers the key topics in depth.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>When police are called in to investigate a crime, what powers and limitations apply to them? What are their rights to question strangers, search without warrants, or detain individuals who might become suspects? <i>Crime Scene Investigations</i> breaks down the Supreme Court's decisions on questions like these into clear and practical terms. <br> Police need to be vigilant, since the line between a lawful search and an improper one can be dangerously thin, and officers can be held accountable for any wrongdoing, intentional or not. The controversy surrounding such techniques as stop-and-frisk sweeps and compulsory DNA testing underscores the importance of understanding the legal dimensions of police powers. Because interactions between law enforcement officers and civilians are often charged with complexities, <i>Crime Scene Investigations </i>provides a level-headed guide, indispensable for those on either side of an investigation.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Daniel J. Baum is the author of over twenty books, most of which deal with important public policy issues. He draws on his experience as a professor of law for more than thirty years. Baum is the author of the first two books in this series: <i>Youth and the Law</i> and <i>Freedom of Expression</i>.
