Fundamental Criminal Procedure (2022 edition)
Fundamental Criminal Procedure explores American criminal procedure in a format ultimately destined for electronic publication. Because many students devote a great deal of their class time to taking notes, often at the expense of creative analysis, the text is intended to supply all of the necessary “black letter law” needed for mastery of the subject. The materials are, however, far more than a “study aid.” They emphasize where appropriate the crucial philosophical and policy questions and issues inherent in the subject. Periodic “Review Questions” require understanding application of academic material in a pragmatic context. “Legal Briefs” require the student to prepare to brief legislators on a wide variety of critical public policy questions inherent in criminal procedure. This text began and largely remains in outline format for ease of student use. As time permits, I am transitioning the text to a slightly more traditional form. Contrary to the Bluebook, I mix memorandum and formal writing citation style for purposes of easy reading.
Part One of the text deals with search and seizure, interrogations, eye-witness identification, and the right to counsel. Parts Two through Five deal with the remaining topics, the process by which a person is arrested, charged, adjudicated, and sanctioned and the aftermath. Accordingly, Fundamental Criminal Procedure includes sentencing, appeal, and collateral relief.

Managing redundancy : a capability approach to a Swedish case study
This is a study of the workings of a Swedish welfare scheme during a two year period
from 1979 to 1980. Its aim is to examine the effects of the scheme on the clients
involved, to analyse the relationship between official and client, and to demonstrate
the functioning of some components of the Swedish model at the front line. The study
focuses upon the collapse of the shipbuilding industry in Gothenburg on the west
coast of Sweden and the scheme designed to find jobs for around two thousand
workers threatened by redundancy in the spring of 1979.
The Capability Approach, as formulated by Amartya Sen, is employed to analyse
whether various state actors, mobilised to avert mass unemployment during the
shipbuilding collapse, were able to re-orientate career paths along mutually desired
trajectories. The strength of the approach lies in its focus on the individual, thus
enabling an analysis which departs from the traditional approach in Anglo-Saxon
studies of Sweden that focus on peak level politics.
The case study offers detailed information about the workings of the welfare scheme;
it draws upon rich archival and interview data as well as a range of secondary sources
previously untranslated. It demonstrates the importance of work within Sweden, how
that importance affects client – official relationships thereby offering a critique of
Esping Andersen's argument that Social Democratic states facilitate 'decommodification'
