Walter
P. Signorelli. The constable has blundered : the exclusionary rule, crime,
and corruption. Carolina Academic Press, c2010. KF9662.S56
2010 This
book explains how the exclusionary rule undermines the purposes of the
criminal justice system, increases crime rates, dispenses unequal justice,
and encourages police corruption. While the author argues that the rule
should be eliminated or severely restricted in application, he also shows how
other remedies may work more effectively to deter police from violating
constitutional rights pertaining to search and seizure and interrogation
practices. |

Calin
Trenkov-Wermuth. United Nations justice : legal and judicial reform in
governance operations. United Nations University Press, c2010. K2100.T745
2010 This
book discusses the UN’s legal and judicial reform efforts in Kosovo and East
Timor and argues that rather than helping to establish a sustainable legal
system, the UN’s approach detracted from it, as it confused ends with
means. It offers a full account of the UN’s endeavors with the
administration of justice in governance operations and suggests methods by
which these efforts can be improved in the future. |
