Criminal procedure : a handbook for criminology students / Atty. Ramil G. Gabao, Atty. Victor T. Tulalian.

Includes bibliography.

It is beyond dispute that most of the students taking up Criminology want to enter the government service either as law enforcement officers or personnel/officers in any one of the Five Pillars of the Philippine Criminal Justice System. Verily, the administration of criminal justice can be well attained if our law enforcement officers and criminal justice system personnel/officers are knowledgeable on the rules of criminal procedure. This is especially true with respect to the controversial aspect of criminal jurisdiction, the institution of criminal actions, preliminary investigation and inquest, arrest, search and seizure, bail and, most importantly, the rights of the accused. Knowledge of basic criminal procedure, therefore, is a must. With the foregoing as primordial consideration, the authors have painstakingly prepared this basic and handy reference guide on the Revised Rules of Criminal Procedure for Criminology students. --Preface of the book.
