Stability is not a hallmark of the law of criminal justice. World events have highlighted new threats and birthed new fears. Courts and lawmakers have responded to these events, creating in turn a panoply of questions about the procedural rights of the criminally accused and the proper use of the criminal sanction. Every year the United States Supreme Court accepts and decides cases in the criminal justice area in ways that sometimes affirm, but more often clarify, modify, or even abandon established criminal justice doctrines.
