The increasing litigation against criminal justice practitioners in
the United States poses a significant problem for law enforcement and
other personnel. Law enforcement and corrections professionals need to
have a working knowledge of both criminal law and the civil law
process to ensure that they are performing their duties within the
limits of the law. Civil Liability in Criminal Justice,
7th Edition, provides valuable information and recommendations to
current and future officers and correctional system employees,
introducing them to civil liability and federal law, as well as
recommending strategies that can be taken to minimize risks. Civil
Liability in Criminal Justice is unique in its combination of
applicable case law and related liability research, while still
providing an overview of current case law in high-liability areas.
This new edition, revised to include up-to-date United States
Supreme Court cases, including liability trends on the use of force,
arrest-related deaths, custodial suicides in detention, qualified
immunity, and the outcomes of the Department of Justice and the
application of Section 14141, additional context for liability issues,
and extended coverage of collective bargaining and public perception,
is a valuable resource for enhancing student knowledge and
practitioner job performance. The text is suitable for undergraduate
and graduate courses in Criminal Justice programs as well as for
in-service and academy training. Ross offers an engaging, accessible
introduction to this aspect of the US criminal justice system.
