Key aspects of criminal processes and investigative procedures in the Victorian and Commonwealth jurisdictions

This book is designed to be a useful and practical tool for both students and legal practitioners alike. In addition to focusing on the recently enacted Criminal Procedure Act 2009 (Vic), this text also highlights other key aspects of the criminal processes and investigative procedures that are now extant in the Victorian and Commonwealth jurisdictions in particular: the hierarchy of courts in Victoria, commencement of criminal proceedings, bail, search and seizure, forensic procedures, police questioning, the parameters of double jeopardy, and the jury system among other important areas. This is achieved through a combination of case and statutory extracts which, when appropriate, are preceded and/or followed by commentaries that are precisely crafted to assist the readers' understanding.
