Abstract
The easy understanding for scholars and the promotion of criminal legal-procedural thinking -as the author rightly states in the prologue- create the fundamental basis for this book to become a fundamental text; not in vain it has seven editions in its mother tongue and it is the product of many years of research. For those who want to get a general idea of the text should understand that it is built from four thematic axes: the first one refers to the parties involved in the criminal process; the second one deals with the criminal procedure in a broad sense; the third one is focused on the evidentiary law; and the last one is focused on the explanation of the sentence, the means of challenge and the procedural costs.
