Betrayal of Due Process

More about the book

Focusing on plea bargaining, this study provides a historical comparison of guilty plea practices in the United States and Canada. The author employs historical, criminological, sociological, and political perspectives to explore the implications of this dominant practice in both nations' criminal justice systems. By addressing the lack of scholarly attention on plea bargaining, the book fills a significant gap in legal scholarship, making a compelling case for its critical role in the justice process.
