Throughout the western world public opinion has played an
important role in shaping criminal justice policy. At the same time
opinion polls repeatedly demonstrate that the public knows little
about crime and justice, and holds negative views of the criminal
justice system. This book, consisting of chapters from leading
authorities in the field, is concerned to address this problem, and
draws upon research in a number of different countries to address
the issues arising from this state of affairs. Its main aims
are:
- to explore the changing and evolving nature of public attitudes
to sentencing
- to examine the factors that influence public opinion and to
bring together recent international research which has demonstrated
ways in which public attitudes can be changed
- to propose specific strategies to respond to the crisis in
public confidence in criminal justice.
