First published in 1997, this volume recognises that on trial in
every criminal case heard by a jury is not only the defendant but
the democratic premise that ordinary citizens are capable of
sitting in judgement on that defendant. The jury is a
quintessential democratic institution, the lay cog in a criminal
justice machine dominated by lawyers, judges and police. Today,
however, the jury finds itself under attack - on the right, for
perverse verdicts, and, on the left, for miscarriages of justice.
Justice, Democracy and the Jury is an attempt to place the jury
within a historical, political and philosophical framework, and to
analyse the decision-making processes at work on a jury. The book
also examines whether the model of the jury can be adapted to other
decision-making contexts and whether "citizens juries" can be used
to revive a flagging democracy and to empower the people on issues
of public concern.
