This collection examines contemporary challenges to the criminal
justice system in England and Wales. The chapters, written by
established academics, rising stars and practising lawyers, seek
not only to highlight these challenges but to offer solutions. The
book examines issues with legal assistance in the police station,
concerns relating to juror decision making and problems in and
presented by both virtual hearings and the advent of the Single
Justice Procedure Notice. The work also examines challenges
surrounding vulnerability in the criminal justice system. Here,
diversity includes vulnerability in the criminal trial,
neurodivergence as well as issues with diversity and
marginalisation in the criminal justice system as a whole. The book
also discusses matters centred around sexual offending - including
the attrition rate in rape cases as well as the recent development
of 'vigilante' paedophile hunters and their acceptance as a viable
limb of the criminal justice system. Finally, the volume looks at
the post-conviction stage and examines recent prison policy through
the lens of the human rights of the prisoner. The closing chapter
examines the independence of the Criminal Cases Review Commission
and highlights how recent changes have undermined this. While
focused on England and Wales, the topics discussed are of wider
international significance and will be of interest to students,
academics and policy-makers.
