Abstract
HOW CAN THE PROCESS OF PLEA BARGAINING BE IMPROVED? WHAT ARE THE RESPECTIVE ROLES OF THE DEFENDANT, THE DEFENSE COUNSEL, THE PROSECUTOR, JUDGE, POLICE, AND THE VICTIM? WHAT RULES SHOULD GOVERN THE PLEA BARGAINING PROCESS? THIS BIBLIOGRAPHY CONTAINS DOCUMENTS THAT EXPLORE THESE QUESTIONS AS WELL AS THE LEGAL ASPECTS OF PLEA BARGAINING. ALTHOUGH NOT A DEFINITIVE SEARCH OF THE AVAILABLE LITERATURE, THE 64 REFERENCED DOCUMENTS (DATED 1956 THROUGH 1975) COVER FEDERAL AND STATE RULES OF PROCEDURE, FACTORS INFLUENCING PLEA BARGAINING, A COMPARISON BETWEEN THE AMERICAN AND ENGLISH PRACTICES, ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES, AND THE PRESENT STATUS OF PLEA BARGAINING. ALL DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN SELECTED FROM THE NATIONAL CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFERENCE SERVICE DATA BASE. THIS ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY IS ARRANGED BY AUTHOR, AND A SUBJECT INDEX IS PROVIDED. A LIST OF THE PUBLISHERS' NAMES AND ADDRESSES APPEARS IN THE APPENDIX.
