Over the last decade there has arisen considerable disquiet about
the relationship between criminal justice and its publics. This has
been expressed in a variety of different ways, ranging from a
concern that state criminal justice has moved too far away from the
concerns of ordinary people (become too distant, too out of touch,
insufficiently reflective of different groups in society) to the
belief that the police have been attending to the wrong priorities,
that the state has failed to reduce crime, that people still feel a
general sense of insecurity. Governments have sought to respond to
these concerns throughout Europe and North America but the results
have challenged people's deeply held beliefs about what justice is
and what the state's role should be. The need to innovate in
response to local demands has hence resulted in some very different
initiatives. This book is concerned to delve further into this
contested relationship between criminal justice and its publics.
Written by experts from different countries as a new initiative in
comparative criminal justice, it reveals how different the
intrinsic cultural attitudes in relation to criminal justice are
across Europe. This is a time when states' monopoly on criminal
justice is being questioned and they are being asked on what basis
their legitimacy rests, challenged by both globalization and
localization. The answers reflect both cultural specificity and,
for some, broader moves towards reaching out to citizens and
associations representing citizens.
