Abstract
"The topic of civil liberties is so vast and impossible of precise definition that any text must almost arbitrarily select isolated aspects of that broad topic and hen content itself with as much detailed exposition as is permissible within the confines of page limitations. Such has been the experience of this book. The obvious areas of discussion, such as police powers of arrest, search and seizure, and interrogation; rights of assembly and demonstration; and the extent to which freedom of expression has been curtailed by the jurisdiction to punish for contempts of court, have all been briefly examined...: - Preface
