How are poverty and social inequality entrenched through a failing
justice system? In this important book, Jon Robins and Daniel
Newman examine how the lives of people already struggling with
problems with their welfare benefits, jobs, housing and immigration
are made much harder by cuts to legal aid and the failings of our
creaking justice system. Over the course of 12 months, interviews
were carried out on the ground in a range of settings with people
as they were caught up in the justice system, in a range of
settings such as foodbanks in a church hall in a wealthy part of
London; a community centre in a former mining town; a homeless
shelter for rough sleepers in Birmingham; and a destitution service
for asylum seekers in a city on the South coast, as well as in
courts and advice agencies up and down the country. The authors
argue that a failure to access justice all too often represents a
catastrophic step in the life of the person concerned and their
family. This powerful, yet moving, account humanises the hostile
political debates that surround legal aid and reveals what access
to justice really means in Austerity Britain.
