Discussion Board

                Prepare a 4–6 paragraph response to the following questions:

• What role does the concept of exclusionary rule play in our criminal justice system?
• To what extent might one argue that the exclusionary rule has gone too far in protecting civil liberties at the expense of fighting crime?

Further Guidelines

• The provision contained in the Bill of Rights should be discussed as well as how it relates to criminal proceedings.
• Incorporate in your discussion some of the shifts in the U.S. Supreme Court's position relating to the application of the exclusionary rule in more recent cases.
• Be sure to reference all sources using APA style. For more information on APA, please visit the APASTYLE Lab.
