Zusatztext Richard L. Lippke's Taming the Presumption of Innocence is a major contribution to our theoretical understanding of criminal procedure. Founding his argument in the basic rights of life, liberty, and equality, Lippke advances a strong case for confining the presumption to the trial process. A thorough scrutiny of the presumption of innocence, this book argues that some of the work that the presumption has been said to do outside the trial, such as treating criminal suspects with respect and dignity, should be accomplished with legal principles directly aimed at those goals. Informationen zum Autor Richard L.
